Keith KlimkowiczSwiss Pocket Watch
Hi All
The movement is marked Meyer & Studeli s.a. Swiss. It is a 2 adjts. six 6 jewels and a 12s in a pure nickel Meyer & Studeli S.A. swiss case. Any help on this watch. I think the dial is silver with painted numbers in poor shape no hands.
Regards
Keith

Kenneth HighThis appears to be the same pocketwatch I have. I too have not had a lot of success on getting the history of it. Will add images.

David ButcherSo I'll add mine with the same dial but with the Tiega name on it.
These have an MST 265 calibre in them. All of these Tiega calibres are quite similar and are very much based on the Tieche-Gammeter calibres that Meyer & Studeli bought in 1916.
These low jewelled calibres seem very much aimed at the US market as pretty much all the ones I've bought have come from there. I'd be interested in knowing the names on those dials.
One of the things I love about these calibres is the faux centre wheel pivot on the train bridge. You can see that there isn't actually a centre wheel in there, instead it sits towards in the bottom of the calibre.
Date wise I'd say that these sit somewhere from the mid Twenties to the end of the Thirties.
