A piece of crap and not worth 1 euro
So probably not a watch anymore will like here
But since I have some kind of a disease that I simply can’t throw away any watch…..
I know absolutely nothing about this
Is it 50 years old or closer to 100
A stamp with 935 ?? 925 is silver no idea about 935
The movement? Any idea
Sorry for this ugly thing but I’m curious 😁
The inward angles on the escapement bridge/cock and center bridge are very nice.
And I think I've never seen such a “U-shaped” center bridge.
Best, Emmanuel
Well I noticed that too
Not nice polished but somehow they did the effort to make them rather sharp then rounded
It looks like a decent vintage watch.
Would u try to restore it?
No idea of what 935 means. Is it a precious metal hallmark?

Google search 0.935 silver. Can you see the three bears on the back. I can see a Geneva mark.
0.935 silver is a high-grade silver alloy consisting of 93.5% pure silver and 6.5% other metals (typically copper). It possesses a higher purity than standard sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure (925). [1 , 2 , 3 ]
The breakdown of its historical context, hallmarks, and modern uses includes:
Historical Context & Hallmarks
- Swiss Watchmaking: Historically, 0.935 silver was widely used by Swiss watchmakers from the 1880s through the 1930s.
- The "Three Bears" Stamp: Swiss assay offices explicitly authorized the 0.935 standard for export to Britain. Because the British standard was strictly 0.925 and allowed no margin of error, Swiss makers used 0.935 to guarantee the metal would pass British assay tests. These cases were famously stamped with a hallmark featuring three bears (one small bear over two larger bears).
