Universal Geneva 28 jewel pocket watch

[labarbe]

This site was a big help to me last time. This time I recently purchased a stainless steel pocket watch by Universal Geneve it is market Automatic Microtor on the face and "Universal Geneve Swiss 215 Microtor" 28 Twenty-eight jewels on the movement. I found out about a similar wrist watch, but can find no mention on the internet about a pocket watch.
The movement is 28 mm. The face somewhat larger. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v600/labarbedor/anytime/Picture747-1.jpg

I've never seen one either. The movement must be the same as used in the wristwatches - Polerouters. See:

Thanks Marrick for the reference. It does seem odd to me to have an automatic pocket watch though. Would it get enough movement sitting in a vest pocket to keep up its power reserve?

Good point... maybe that is why they are so rare!
