Depose just means, that a part of the movement is protected by a swiss patent. If you have a number with this "Depose", you can look up that patent.
"RA" (not rv) means "retard / avance" or just "slower/faster".

I'm afraid I must agree with the others. It's impossible to say what something means or is or signifies, without actually LOOKING at it. We need photos.

Nice work, BigChap.
If you can get closer photographs of the movement, the experts here will be able to tell you more about it. All I can say is that it's key-wind, (right arbor), key-set (central arbor), possibly a late 19th century woman's pocket watch. Its cosmetic condition looks almost pristine.

I too have a ladies pocket watch with Depose RV on it, have you managed to find out what the RV means? I cannot find out any information about the RV, anyone help?
