Ken HabeebTravel clock movement type and maker?
Here is a Swiss travel clock movement. Can anyone recognize the maker by its style? And, I wonder, is that a kind of Swiss Getty?
Thanks in advance,

Gerald ZimmermannKen
An 8-Day traveling clock from the 30's, lumimous hands and dial usually housedd in a leather covered folder.
It was made by the Goering Watch Co, La Chaux-de-Fond, Switzerland, founded by Louis Goering 1848 and after his death managed by his widow.
Don't know if this type is specially named and don't get the 'Getty Question' cause of problems to translate

Ken HabeebThank you, Gerald. I know that the watch is an 8 day, but I did not know the maker as you do from looking at the movement. And bravo! Not a well-known maker.
Is it good quality?

Gerald ZimmermannI've seen this movement in lower quality with only 6 jewels but this one seems to have 15j. compared to the last generation of mechanical alarm clocks with only 1 jewel it is good enough to make a nice desk watch project.
