LeCoultre & Cie circa 1890 I have this nice 18k cased brooch watch in the original box. I sent it in for service and it works very well, except that the spring is short and needs to be wound every 22 hours. The watch is set and wound from the crown. My question is who is able to give me a quote ? Maybe someone knows something about this movement and the watch in general ? The last picture is already after the movement service.

Cylinder watches are usually worth the weight of the precious metal (if any), not more. This movement is quite OK but not exceptional.
What makes it interesting is the brooch work, but to get an appraisal, a jeweller would be more qualified.

Also, it is a pin set, not crown set.
