How does this watch get to setting position?

Also, anyone recognize the movement? It’s 27mm, 11.75-12L? Not marked except for the serial number

it had a broken stem, likely from someone trying to set it. Am I missing a setting part?

Thanks!

Did you try pulling out on the stem really really really hard? If so you probably found it doesn't work. I snipped out something from one of your pictures notice the opening next to the stem? Normally when it's cased up there should be a pin of some kind found here. If you push in the here it will allow the watch to go in the setting mode.

Thanks...Yes, just a bit of leverage out there will allow the stem to move the lever towards the setting position. However, it won’t stay there. Must be a finger built into the case, which I don’t have...interestindifferent designs were developed back in the day.

how bout the maker/ model of this watch? Any guesses?

As side note: I just took the barrel out and found a Geneva stop works on this watch. Interesting because I just asked on here about these a couple weeks ago. I also assume the watch must be of decent quality if equipped with this. Still wondering the maker?

The detent on this one is just a screw that goes all the way through and this is why the stem cannot be pulled out. Did this come in a case with a button that was pushed in to set the time? That’s all I can surmise from examining it.
