Hi All,
Can anyone offer a thought about whether this is a Swiss or a Chinese movement ?? and either any ideas as to maker ?
Thanks,
Bill

Chinese watch movements - The export Peacock automatics were one response to the success of quartz watches, another was to begin selling movements to Hong Kong watch producers. The Liaoning 'ZLN' soon became one of the most commonly used Standard movements in the industry.

Thanks Tom,
I was hoping someone would pick up on the ZLN. I also thought it was likely Chinese, but the balance jewel sure looked like the swiss ones.
Keeps pretty good time for this type of movement, and being a manual wind etc. kind of caught my eye.
Not being a watch guy, can you tell how many jewel this would be ?
Thanks,
Bill

The jewel count is 17j

Thanks Gerald,
I am amazed, this is as highly jewelled as this.
If only the finishing was a little better.
Thanks again,
Bill
