[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 1076833, member: 25"][B][I]Is it plausible that the dial has slipped around a bit?[/I][/B] No, the dial is pinned to the movement. It possibly has that orientation as a compromise moving to ward a pendant watch with a completely upside down dial. This is no more than a guess. It is a run of the mill lower grade Swiss lever movement in an American rolled gold (gold filled) case. The dial style says 1920s. This is consistent with the trademarke data for the case. Many small companies imported Swiss movements and sold them in US made cases. I don't think any are of any significance, unless they were major players with watches as a minor part of their range, such as Tiffany or Black, Starr and Frost.[/QUOTE]
