Wow, a really fine watch, made in finest quality (you can see that on the engraved patented regulator wheel). When you tell us the serial number on the movement (quite unreadable), I / we can tell you much more.

Hmm... something is wrong with the regulator... actually the (patented) star wheel should be connected to the regulator hand.

Your right Andreas I never notice that before the whole regulator has been changed I have a couple of watch that have it and looked at a few books some time through the years the regulator was replaced.
