John WoolseyWelcome Michelle,
Is there any chance of some photo's of your watch and its movement? Sounds very interesting as I can find nothing like it in my books.
I have Vulcain listed in various calibres for parts listings and even clocks, but nothing for the Robot Watch Co.
The Vulcain trademark is a rectangle with a 'V' inside positioned at the top - if you can find it anywhere on the movement.
Not too sure about the 'double escapement' you mention - any chance of more details?
Best regards
John

Scott CerulloMichelle,
There was a company called Robot Time Inc. They were out of New York and basically imported watches in the 1950s. It is possible that the movement in the watch was replaced at one time.
