GT = Gedeon Thommen = Revue!

And they had their company in Waldenbourg (Switzerland).

A swiss pocket watch in silver case (inner cap out of brass), cylindre escapement, 10 jewels, key wound/set.

Gedeon Thommen started the production of own ebauches/movements for pocket watches in 1875, that are signed with his initials "GT". And that kind of movements are made in this period, matching the layout of the dial. Your watch was thus made in about 1880.
