Hi,

I'd need some help in identifying this movement. Its marked R and both the baseplate and the bridge have the number 193 on them.
I'm attaching two photographs of it... No further info at this time.
Thank you in advance!

I managed to find that out but the caliber # is eluding me I've tried 193 or something but to no avail... Best I've came up is that it's one of the Valjoux 19 ligne movements but from there it's a whole new rabbit hole.

If the 193 is stamped on the plate and the bridge it's probably a serial number, not the caliber.

But then again, like all things with Swiss watches, it could be the caliber but I can't find anything like it.

What is it, a timer movement?

It's a bomb timer "project" I've acquired recently.

It's a Lip watch, as per Knirims book its all correct but I didn't find a movement reference. Same case and setup can be found od the period Zenith but the photographs of that movement don't match this one.

193 would make it a very early or a really low production instrument if it was a serial, and it quite possibly cold be as the location of the number on the baseplate matches the usual spot for a SN.

Hello, maybe you can try to join the Lip museum : [email protected] and ask them?

Nope it does not have the sub second dial, and the missing center wheel with its heart and screw are not pictured.

Sorry for letting this stand for so long and unanswered...
