• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

Its definitely Geneva style. The inscription is a list of features typical of Geneva work circa 1850.

I am not sure of the first letter in the name but guess it to be a "J"

The script says it is a compensated lever but the picture looks like a fake compensated lever. It looks like the cut in the balance wheel does not go all the way through the rim. They did that.


The two color hands are special.

Full jeweled means it has 15 jewels

Thanks so much. This helps in my understand of this watch. I'm primarily a clock guy and have recently found myself in the world of pocket watches.
