    Key Wind Pocket Watch

    Hey everyone got this when I was out the other day , Its a key wind , the dial is in pretty rough shape, I think it is silver due to the markings and some of the research I did said the case and chain are Birmingham 1884 due to the lion and anchor marking and the large K the dial and movement are unmarked so im unsure of the maker there ia an NB on the inside of the case any help would be great.

    It looks like you have a Swiss made cylinder watch. The movement is typically Swiss. the case is also probably Swiss, and I would check the hallmarks.The chain is probably not Swiss. Once again, I would check the hallmarks.

    It wouldn't have been uncommon for the movment to have been imported into england and cased there. Generic swiss movements didn't usually have a lot of markings, although you may find something under the dial or the bridge.
