I have aquired a Tiffany HC pocket watch and I need some help IDing the maker of the movement. I have tried to search the usual makers ie Patek, Meylan, etc. I have attached a pix of the movement and can send others if needed for better IDing.
Thanx

current conventional wisdom says that Tiffany has their own factory in Geneva up until the 12 to 13k range. After that many were Patek...
It is also reported that these wolfs teeth wind watches made in Geneva were soldin a facility that was ShaRED by Patek and Tiffany.
Have you had the dial off?

I don't think this is from the Tiffany actory either under Tiffany or Patek operation. It has a Jurgensen look to it. Unless it sets from the bow, its probably a Louis Audemars or a Le Coultre. I have seen other Louis Audemars Watches signed Tiffany. Audemars also made watches in this style for Jurgensen.
The serial number if by Louis Audemars would date it in the 1880's which looks right for this watch. The click and wolf's teeth are also typical of this maker.
Very nice it is too.
