Hi to all! Sorry, but I'm new to the forum. My question creates a new topic. I purchased a Looping travel watch. But I have not yet met such a mechanism. I am sending a photo. Perhaps one of you can tell me what kind of mechanism it is.
Best regards,
Peter

To clarify, it's not a watch movement but a clock movement.
I understand that there may be language variations, but this isn't something you wear on your wrist, therefore it's a clock.

I suspect it's probably a variation of the Looping Caliber 50 movement. Although not identical, it shares similarities.
So to answer your question:

.............. Perhaps one of you can tell me what kind of mechanism it is.......

It's a Looping Caliber ?? Lever movement, 8 day key wind with alarm.
The diameter of the movement may help in identifying it further.

Sorry for misidentifying. Yes, this is an alarm clock. The size of the mechanism is 41 mm. Actually, I live in Ukraine. In Ukrainian, a clock is simply a clock. In English, there is a difference between a watch that is worn on the hand and a watch that is on the table or hanging on the wall.
Best regards,
Peter

No problems at all with misidentifying.
We all have our words for things, and in different languages they may seems strange to other people but we all get the idea.
I can't offer any more information on the movement.
While the watch world seems to be obsessed on research and documentation, the "clock world", especially for small travel clocks, seems to be an information desert.
The movement looks to be rather basic so if repair is required, a watchmaker should be able to help.

Best wishes to you and your country!

My question remained unanswered...
What is the brand of this clock - Looping or Le Coultre?
Best regards,
Peter

Good evening everyone! So it seems to me that Looping didn't have this kind of mechanism?... Maybe I'm wrong...
Best regards,

I am interested in this part... Is it something on a spring?... Where is it attached, what is its function. Her number on the scheme is 7436.
With best regards,
Peter
