The crown and sickel-moon is the German silver stamp. Others will tell you more about the watch I am sure.

Hi. It's a cheap watch but I live in an art deco house and therefore I want to give it a place in my collection .
I would like the maker of it

As a long time researcher and aficionado of hallmarks, I find this very interesting. I cannot see the marks well but it "kind of" (I am not an expert but love this kind of stuff) looks like a Swiss movement with a case with German IMPORT marks . rather than makers marks. Perhaps one of our German members can set us all straight. Also the "84" seems to indicate a Russian connection of some kind. There is a fellow named "HOLMSTROM, Albert" who was Russian and had a "similar" mark but not identical. I think this is . Swiss watch though with Swiss case with German import marks. Anyone else have any ideas?? Cool Watch!

It could be Jeff,I cleaned it with a reasonable aggresive silfer cleaner with a soft brush

Jeff/Pierre,

Re the hallmarks....not that long ago, I had a very interesting discussion, on this very subject of hallmarks, with John Matthews and Enrico.
There is a thread to refer to somewhere....I'll see if I can dig it up.

Regards

Hi Piers
So much information,I have read a few hours,interresant to read the German stams were also hit in Swiss .The history of Longines is beautiful,etc....
I have the watchmaker with the brand AH in a saddle bracket not found yet. Mystery.
And then the number 69821? 821 is also stamp on the outer ring see photo ,it looks like there several lids placed on a basic watch case.Rare ?
