I have a dozen V&C pocket watches, none with a movement remotely similar to yours. I don't recall ever seeing a V&C movement like yours. However, I have a C.H. Meylan that looks almost identical to your movement, except for minor differences on the pillar plate. I also have three seemingly identical Cressarrows that I have always thought to be C.H. Meylan PLs.
C.H. Meylan watches are notoriously variable. I hardly every see any two that are completely identical. Hence, the minor pillar plate differences do not suggest to me that your movement isn't a C.H. Meylan.
"Ioco," according to Pritchard, was an Ollendorf brand. Pritchard says that Ollendorg was an exporter, not a manufacturer.
