This is my latest acquisition

An unusual 19 jewels with 4 adjustments

And now the little "mystery"

Any suggestion about this acronym? I don't think it is related to a name, but what else could it be?

Can't help with the markings...but great looking piece. Is the escape wheel jewel cracked - or is it just an illusion in the photo?

Nice watch with in house movement (something like this one: bidfun-db Archiv: Uhrwerke: Recta A2 ) As for the inscription, I can't tell you either, I'm afraid. Hartmut Richter

Hey, a very nice inhouse movement but my Electronic Data Manager fails complete. I also can't find any matching acromyms which make any sence. But the signs look orginal and offical. The way the movement is styled and the mentioning of "four adjustments" show that its definetly designed for the american continent. I also believe that it should be a acronym.
Good luck
Silke

The jewel is undamaged; it is only a small hair
Yes Hartmut, I know the A family.
Thanks anyway, I'll continue to search for the meaning of that engraving
