Serial Number 1327300 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: 1327300 is 15 jewels

Curator Response: Thanks for the report and the image uploads. The "15 Jewels" marking on your movement was added at a later time, not at the factory. The third wheel is not jeweled, indicating it actually contains 13 jewels, not 15 jewels.
