Note: Picture of movement is wrong.Don't know
terminology but big gear on my watch (936063) is
on bottom with smaller gear on top.
Curator Response: The illustration represents the openface Series 3 while this particular run is listed as hunting. For the E. Howard movements, this would result in the crown wheel and the barrel wheel being reversed.
