Was wondering if anyone knows about this specific watch?
I am by no means an expert on I.W.C. (International Watch Co.) but it appears to be a caliber 52.
The Calibre 52 had many variations –different balance cocks, different regulators, etc. It was the ‘workhorse” IWC pocket watch movement, and was made from 1888 to 1940, in almost 300,000 examples –and over 460,000 if one counts its sister Calibre 53 savonette movement.
IWC is still in business and can be visited at IWC.com
They may have a place where you can ask them for information.
Love and hugs.............................and WELCOME!!
