Robert V. JonesAny Idea on the Maker ???
I recently bought this Swiss watch and was curious as to what others thought the maker was. It is in a 18k thin case.

Sheila GilbertHere are 2 items on ebay marked Bigalo & Kennard Boston.
Looks like it's french?
Looks to also be high end?
Not anything on the maker but maybe the seller?

Sheila GilbertI think I found it!
Check page 498 of the Book. May be a Gruen Ultra Thin!
PS Several have movements like this one, but not exact.
Good luck

Ethan LipsigThe movement looks almost identical to my 19j Touchon.

Robert V. JonesA lot of those high end swiss makers have simularities but I would have to agree that is the closest match I have seen. Thanks

Sham AgayevHi Guys. After looking at the watches side by side on Lindell's post, I have no doubt that Robert's watch is also a Touchon. The difference of the case screws is simply the fact that Ethan's is very much earlier model than the Robert's watch. By me saying that, I would belive that setting mechanism is modefied as well, where setting mechanism will allow to put the case screws where they are. Thank You.
