It appears to be swiss made, open face, approx 12 size or 40mm fitted in a wristwatch case. Marked Adjusted, Director, 15873, and on the balance cock it is marked Patented 1877. I wouldn’t think that the movement was originally engraved with the Director marking but the glued down dial is also marked director and not original to the watch. The original dial feet positions would be at the 9 and 38.5 min marks. Thank you, Ray

Check top picture in the fat book, page 534. The regulator is a dead ringer, but the click is different. Maybe your is an earlier model. I'd say it was a very fine watch for its time, wouldn't you?

Putting these smaller pocket watch sizes in wrist watch cases with glass backs is a rage these days, I understand. Someone is making wrist watch cases for 10s Hamiltons now. M.
