[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9513613, member: 56"]You can look up "Ancre Ligne Droit 15 rubis" pocket watches. There seem to be quite a few out there. I wish I knew enough about pocket watches to help. From one online source (edited): [I]The inscription describes (in French) the mechanism contained within: Ancre ligne droite = straight line lever (anchor-shaped), 15 rubis (jewels), levee visible (visible table roller). It is either French or Swiss. [/I] Another source said that the movements were mass produced, but the quality tended to be better than the typical mass produced watch of its time. The 1911 in yours is probably good for the date of this example.[/QUOTE]
