Can you please identify this watch's maker?
Hello,
This is a private label watch (Longines?--it has a similar dial to a Longines dial I have already) with a 1 inch (2.54 mm) dial marked "Patenaude Bros". It's movement is marked "Patenaude Bros, Nelson, B.C." and "15 Jewels". If a Longines, its serial number of 1325737 would put it at about 1901, which is about the right era for this label. Any help in its identification is greatly appreciated. Chris Boyer, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

Here is a scan of the movement.

Looks very much like a Longines 21.29 or 21.30 cal. movement, but that is from a fellow that is nowhere near an authority on Longines. Did you pull the dial sometimes it will tell you there ?

Thanks for your reply, Bill. I haven't pulled the dial, unfortunately. As I'm very new to this and lack the tools and experience, I wouldn't attempt this. Also afraid of damaging this tiny relic!

I also am no expert on Longines but I happen to own a family ladies watch from West Virginia and it is the same pattern and definitely Longines.
