Hello Group,
I was wondering if anyone might know who manufactured this movement, or is it just a generic swiss movement. Thanks for any help you can give....Jim

George J. Von Burg 1914-1986

Thanks, But cannot be the same person. This watch is dated Dec. 25th 1897.
George was born in 1914...Maybe his father? He was a watchmaker. Anyone???

George J Von Burgs father was a watchmaker. Perhaps he is the maker of your watch. Need to look for info on Georges father.
