Serial Number 15257490 was reported as accurate.

Anonymous · June 10, 2022

Serial Number 15257192 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: It is close, to a standard Model 4 with 17 Jewels.
However, the second hand position is located at
the number three not at the bottom (number six),
like we typically find. Excellent site, thank
you!
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. This is what collectors refer to as a conversion dial, allowing a hunting movement to be adapted to an open face case with the pendant at the 12:00 position. https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/reference/configurations
