Can Anyone Help Me Identify This Movement?


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm in the process of servicing this for a relative and have noticed that the escape wheel lower pivot is broken - I suspect that this is why it hasn't been running for about 50 years.  So, ideally I need to source a replacement - the problem I have is that the movement has no obvious manufacturer or Caliber marks - other than those that I've mentioned below.

 

The movement itself is stamped with the word DÉPOSÉ and the numbers 6 and 9 together.  There is also a number on the movement and, interestingly, the case - it is 55709. 

 

The ratchet wheel and the crown wheel are, unusually - well, in my relatively limited experience, both secured through the arbour by a sliver of what looks like brass, rather than a screw.

 

Any guidance would be hugely appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

 

Steve.

Déposé is a french word which mean "registered" , probably reference to a patent ; it will be a miracle to find parts for this movement, but if you have a lot of junk pocket watches and some luck ... The other solution is to re-pivot the escape wheel ; never do that so i don't know if it's practical.
