Welcome to the forum!

This is an intriguing movement, however I do not think that it was made by Longines.

Thank you so much!

I know Longines used a modified Valjoux 22, but never heard of a Lemania.
Looking at the face of the watch (picture by seller), I thought I discovered a 13.33 before I saw the movement. The only thing to be found on the caseback is a London import mark, so I assumed something that Baume put together.

I am also unaware of Longines using Lemania movements during this period (presumably circa 1910-1920). I would guess that both movement and dial have had the name "Longines" added later, and that the watch was originally unbranded.

Found another one on eBay.co.uk. Case is described as 40 mm in diameter. Posting photos for posterity.

That is strange. Looks exactly like the watch I intended to buy. Not Longines-signed on the movement, but both have that typical Longines-arrow on the balance bridge.

With this many out there… I’d not assume yet it was a put together piece.

Lemania most likely, as the placement of the balance wheel to the right of the chronograph bridges.
Excelsior Park ?
There may or maybe not a mark under the dial that could identify the MFG. I checked through several very old movement identifier ref. books & that is my best guess.....

Happen to be looking for something else, but thought you might like!
Note the position of the balance wheel to the central bridge, Lemania seems to be the only one with this style. 1 pusher, so that it is either 13CH or 15CH [ 15CH would be a big watch ]

Thank you so much, Mike!
40mm diameter, so it would be the 15CH.
Kind regards

Diffrent movement, has pusher on case.
The other one is crown push

Right, a different movement. But it is another example of a non-Longines chronograph movement with a Longines-signed dial, and a very similar one too.
