    I own a vintage pocket watch for quite a while and until now I want to know the model and year.
    I have searched on internet but can't find another one, it is very similar to the grand prix paris 1900, but does not has the grand prix stamp.
    The watch does not has the logo on the dial, as I understand that denotes a moment in time as well.
    The serial number is a bit higher than other grand prix paris 1900 I have seen on the internet.
    My opinion so far is that the watch is a post production of the grand prix paris 1900 without any commemorative motive.
    If you know more I would like to hear your ideas.
    Thank you.
    George

    The serial numbers of the movement and case date the watch to about 1915.
    Plain enamel dial with Paris style numerals and Louis XV style hands.

    If you measure the diameter of the movement we can figure out the caliber (17''' or 19'''?).

    Thanks for replying.

    The diameter of the dial is 2.7 cm or 1.062992 inches.

    It is small and I always thought it is for women.

    Just for reference my Omega Grand Prix watch is 1" and 11/16 dia. The extract dates it to 1911.
