This is an oddball movement my friend wants identified ,with an odd winding mechanism with a gear on the movement edge. I can find nothing on the maker however I remember John Woolsey doing posts on this movement type but I can't find them!! any information I could relay to my friend appreciated, and perhaps it will encourage him to join our stalwart band Also,I got an email from John Woolsey ,and it seems that both he and particularly his wife, have been struggling with health issues for some time now. I'm sure the entire membership of this intrepid band wish them a full recovery, and many healthy years to go !!! Slainte Mhath,John and the Mrs,my very best wishes for your complete,and speedy recovery, your wisdom is sadly missed here on your old posting grounds

I have been trying to find something on the name but so far no luck. It would appear that Hinckley is in Leicestershire UK. Looking there I find several Tomlin's but none with the initial G. & no watchmaker or jewelers, mostly a group that were listed as engineers, boot & shoe machinery manufacturers.
I will keep looking.

I have two movements that have the same winding set up.One is a Thomas Russell,the other is signed T.Wordley,London.I think these must be ebauche movements as they all have the same back plate lay out.I've been looking for a case for the Russell for over two years.Norm
