David AbbeUnusual "Democrat" who made it?
I picked up this "Democrat" watch today on eBay, it is 21 Jewel, in a Canadian-made case and has a 24 Hour Dial.
ANY IDEA WHO MADE IT?!

No idea as to maker but I sure like the shape of those bridges, the center one is so unusual looking with those sharp curves.

David AbbeI will post better pictures when it arrives. The seller said that it is running. I hope so, that would be a nice restoration!

John WoolseyNice catch David, it'll be interesting to see some decent photo's of it when it arrives.
21J too, which assuming it's Swiss, is a very high jewel count for the period indeed!
Looks like there may be a trade mark next to the balance, Hope so!
The micrometer index may give other clues too.
Certainly of the ilk of IWC etc!
What a time to snap that one up too ..... Very Topical!

(Bang on with the title BTW)

Best regards
