Note: serial number appears on diagram where train
bridge appears also B. W. Raymond just below
serial #. Also where barrel bridge appears on
diagram this watch says 21 Jewels and the number
590. Then the word "Temperature" appears at the
bottom of your diagram

Curator Response: The diagram is simply for reference. A real-world example would likely contain information about the movement, as you mentioned.
