An Old Swiss Watch

[johnrxx99]

Hi, I'm having the watch shown below refurbished and wondered if anyone know the maker. It looks like FHF 150. Elsewhere it says Swiss Made.

 

Many thankser?

Many thanks but I've seen that and also in 17Jewels. However, the actual maker is not mentioned. Was it ETA but just unmarked? Was the a maker called FHF?

Another question, sorry, the gold case has fixed bars to hold a strap. I seen such on old watches, folder over with two retaining clasps also folded over. What are they called - as you can see I'm very new to this

Yes:

Fabrique d'Horlogerie de Fontainemelon (FHF) was set up in 1793 to supply the Swiss watch industry with ébauches (bare movements) to reduce reliance on the supply of ébauches from France.

I've always called them "fixed lug".
