I am hoping someone here is familiar with this watch. The only markings on it are the words Peral Patent.

Sorry the image isn't clearer. I'm kind of struggling with it. Here is a pic of the entire movement.

The words are repeated on the dial.http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b215/jwdavis111/peralts3.jpg[/IMG]]

And stamped on the back of the case. It is pin set and stem wound and appears to be about a 16s.

According to "Pritchards Swiss Timepiece Makers"page P-47,"Peral Patent" was a mark of C.J. Perrenoud & Cie..With cross in a circle ca 1889.
Hope this helps,

Julian,

Thanks very much! I assumed it was Swiss but I am very happy to know the name of the maker and approximate date.
