Hi Tom

Private label watch for Ferguson and Page; Saint John; New Brunswick; Canada

ca 1900

The movement ( sometimes called 'pistol caliber' from the shape of the two windind bridges and was first used by Patek Philippe), is another wide spread swiss movement of that times and there could be some makers.
Without any markings and from the bit blurry picture i would think this example was made by Agassiz.

A nice watch (at the time it was made and in the small size it could be named high level) that well deserves sitting in a display case.

Regards
Gerald

Tom:

Peter Stammler IHC member from Sweden posted his Longines 16 size Ferguson and Page private-label with this 24-hour dial on my Canadian Private Label thread a few years ago.
