Samie,

As a wild first guess, I'd say Longines. The balance cock/regulator and the click/barrel bridge are very similar to a Dietrich Gruen grade movement I have, but I don't know who made it for them.

Good luck,

Cary

The movement is a C.H. Meylan. Rob Jones is auctioning off on eBAY a private label C.H. Meylan with an almost identical movement, as pictured below.
