Here I go again:)

I bought a Junghans ladies watch (among other stuff) and it has 02-8 on top as marking and that interesting coat of arms and 8 FA under it. Here are some pics, and any info about movement will be much appreciated:thanks
I tried Ranfft but I had no clue what to look for:-s

And I was searching for 02-8:oops: as it says on the top and first I saw 8FA with microscope I thought it is BFA or some kind of FA. But no, 8FA is actualy movement number. Thank you indeed.:thanks
Do you know if Lorsa is German or maybe French or something third?

I believe Lorsa is French - but I know nothing about it.:-(

There's a book you can buy!

It seems as it is French because it is mentioned in the book about French movements. Unfortunalty my French is not what it used to beb-), so I will pass on this one, but excelent searching I might say.:thanks

Lorsa joined with several other companies to become the French Ebauche company (FE)

It is interesting that Lorsa is not listed in the Bestfit Encyclopedia but instead points the reader to a company called "Savoie"
