Central second pocket watch movement identification

Hy everyone. I want to ask you if you have any idea about the maker of this movement. The case seams to be the original one but the dust cover is missing. I was thinking that there was written something about the maker. Thank you

Nice watch! Higher end pallet. Perhaps Geneva maker? Is there an anvil stamp with a number in the caseback?

Thank you Just this stamp: ST

Could it be LeCoultre ebauche finished by Mermod Freres?

I know that the ST was the symbol of Mermod Freres, but I think the style of the letters doesn't match those of MF

I’d checked mikrolisk, as well. Note Aurele Balanche (top of your image) has your letters in exact matching form. So could be them…or their supplier. But I thought they were all Roskopf type, and they made primarily for Spain market.

I was looking for a connection behind the ST for them. St Croix was basis for MF, but Balanche was in CDF. And succeeded Florimont Balanche there.

Hard to say. I think I'll better get a glimpse under the dial to see if isn't something on the mainplate. Altough the style of the anker bridge reminds me of those made by Guinand

…I think I'll better get a glimpse under the dial to see if isn't something on the mainplate…

That would help, and perhaps also the number in the case back. Illegible in the pic, although I see it is 6 digits

117303 is the serial number on the innercase. I'll add new photos too. One can see an interesting feature on the pallet fork: the counterweights are shaped like Golf Club
