Please more information about Willeumier Verge Fusee Repeater

[Frodak]

I am a small collector of keywind pocket watches and recently I bought this functional quarter Verge Fusee repeater. I guees that watch is from arround the year 1800. The case is marked: Willeuimier a Paris, serial number 1936.

I would like to find out some information about this watch. Most information I find out from Google and from this amazing site. Unfortunately with this watch, my google search was unsuccessful, i only found a few pictures of other watches with name Willeumier.

Does anyone know name Willeumier from Paris? Belongs this name watchmaker or retailer?


Thank you for any information.

Sincerely,

Lukas

Lovely watch. The movement looks like the "typical" Swiss verge repeater. I wonder whether there is some relation with Willeuimier Freres in Tramelan. Perhaps a relative residing in Paris? Or a trade agency residing in Paris?.

Cheers, Bernhard

Thank you, for your reaction. Very interesting information. It looks like that is swiss movement, I thought that is from France.

Here is another photos. On the movement under the email dial is mark DW 1938. Letter D will be maybe name? Letter W will be probably surname Willeumier. Number 1938 correspond with number on the case.



Cheers, Lukas
