Some things....

There's the overall "look" of the movement, it just looks wrong, but that's kinda hard to explain, so here are some specific details:

1. the screws, the heads are all approximately the same diameter.  On A.L. Breguet and shortly post watches, the screw heads for the large bridges are rather large and the size varies for the rest
2.  the inner-cover (cuvette).  That exact same style: base metal with the engraved hands, the winding-direction arrow and all the text, appears all over the mid-19th century, on watches of all sorts of brands and "brands".  Breguet would NEVER put a base-metal cover inside a gold case.
3.  the click and spring.  For thinness, Breguet seems to have preferred one to the side of the plate, rather then one on-top.  (not by any means a "fact", but just an observation)

Here's a Post-A.L. Breguet (Breguet et Fils, ~1835) piece (not mine).  The plate layout is less interesting then his pieces, but look at some of the details
