Claude, it's an average to fair quality Swiss ebauche made for a jeweler in Karlstad, Sweden. (Private label). It's pin set and should be from the turn of the century 1800 -1900, give or take a few years. Jewel count is hard to say, but I'll go for 15. The case looks like .800 silver.

Regards, Krister.

It is an 0.800 silver case which I think would equate to "coin silver", I think it is probably a 15j also, currently all functions seem to work but I think the mainspring waved bye bye some time ago. It is an interesting looking watch, less than $100 into it and I thought it was decent enough to get a COA and mainspring, I did not think it was a premium grade but the quality is good in my opinion.
