      It would be helpful , if you open the back at the hinge and show the movement. I've seen a couple of these, but they were "Gold" casing and time frame in the 1930's. Still very neat piece and thanks for sharing yours.

      Just guessing, without any reference to the movement, but the ones seen, were a 15 Jewel Elgin movement.

      This looks like a repro? Are you sure it's old?

      Zuan 17 is a Chinesse made watch movement, I'll see if I can locate an approx date when these style movement were made, The ones I've run across date in the 1980's and 90's and are a very effecent movement.
    8. kerry10456 kerry10456, 11 years ago
      Here is a link to another forum, that shows this movement in a wristwatch .
      These triangle "Mason" watches date from the 1920's and 30's and held several different company movements, but a educated guess, leads me to believe it is a repoduction of the earlier one. I believe a Zuan movement wouldn't be one of the original. I've been wrong before, but that's my opinion. Sorry
    9. tempusfigit, 11 years ago
      "Zuan" isn't a movement name. Zuan is Chinese for Jewel.
      17 Zuan means nothing more than 17 Jewels in the movement.
    10. kerry10456 kerry10456, 11 years ago
      Still means "Chinese" movement any way you look at it. And none of the ORIGINAL piece had a late 20th century style movement.
    11. tempusfigit, 11 years ago
      That right, it is a cheap Chinese movement that is used in many cheap Chinese modern watches. I have one myself. It keeps very good time though.
    12. kerry10456 kerry10456, 11 years ago
      I agree, some of these movements have a reserve time of around 60 hours, that's a long running watch. I have a couple and the hold very close time, no complaint there. My point was that this piece here appears to be a repoduction of the original.
    13. kerry10456 kerry10456, 11 years ago
      @ tempusfigit, I seen you comment on several timepieces and read your for Europe. I have posted a 8-Day clock with a "Crown" marking on the dial, would you know the maker of this German made piece?
    14. tempusfigit, 11 years ago
      @kerry10456, it could be a Haller or Hermle clock. I think they are called anniversaire clock in English. They run a very, very long time on one winding. They are not very accurate and tuning them is almost impossible. I have one that I tried to run accurate, but I gave up. I leave it as it is now. At least something is moving and that's cute.

      Thank you tempusfigit for the info, I'll research that name now, gives me a spot to start. thanks again
