Hello Cort,

Thank you for your reaction. It looks to me that the case is original. Keyhole fits and only one mark on the case where it holds the movement. I don't think 2842 is a serialnr, although I can't argument that. I would be interested in some history on the Thiery watch case co. Thanks again.

Regarding Thiery, if you are an NAWCC member, the April 2005 Bulletin had an article about watch case making. Theiry's business was described briefly on page 155.

Cort probably passed along the following link:

http://www.geocities.com/waterburywatch/home.html

Those are a few places to start.
