Anyone identify this one?

I just got this and it looks very well made, size 16, the plates have a familiar look, but I cant place it. Can anyone tell me about this?. Movement is marked Crown watch Co, 15 Jewels

Thanks Julian,
I see p 329 lists it in HC, but no mention of "OF" for 15J just for 7j, is this a typo in Shugart?, was Crown post NY standard watch Co

I think that Crown was a grade of watch in the regular production of New York Standard.I am no expert,so I don't know for sure.
