This time I don’t have any interesting technical information about movements to offer, but ask my readers for help in identifying watch movements.
I have not yet been able to identify the movements shown below and would therefore be grateful for any information. Specifically, I am looking for the manufacturer, a caliber designation of the manufacturer (if available) and ideally an indication of where this information comes from (source).
If you can clearly identify a movement here, it will be added to the Uhrforum Watch Movements Archiv, with your name if you like.
Let’s go!
Movement 1
9´´´, Swiss lever escapement.
Dial: Eterna
Movement 2
Identified as Buser 16 3/4´´´.
Movement 3
8 ¾´´´, Swiss lever escapement.
Similarity with Felsa 107.
The Paulson shows a Hora 80 (Hora = predecessor of Cortebert).
The hallmark 
could stand for H85, but so far there is no evidence that a Hora 85 exists.
Movement 4
16´´´, Cylinder escapement.
Movement 5
Identified by Alphons as Vacheron Constantin. Thank you very much!
Movement 6
8 ¾´´´, Swiss lever escapement.
Both Movemente are technically identical and differ only in the bridge shape.
On the dial it says REMAS: Brand of D.C.H. Van Hattum; Netherlands; watches; around 1920 -> nothing else to find.
No reference to Swiss Made -> possibly French?
Movement 7
18´´´, Cylinder escapement, early crown winding (before 1900).
Movement 8
18 ¾´´´, Cylinder escapement.
Dial: Union Horlogère
Movement 9

Movement 16
19´´´, Cylinder escapement.
Movement 17

However, the setting lever spring is almost identical to Cortébert model No. 1 of 1913 (SOGC no. 22424)! Large round clicks are also typical for Cortebert!
In the Tirette Laval catalog, the setting lever spring and other parts are listed as Orion 13”! In the Swartchild 1946 there is an Orion 12´´´ with the same setting lever spring, but other bridges.

Dear Joel,
thanks a lot. It would be wonderful if ou could send me a picture of your source.
I will send you an email
Hello,
About no. 19: It seems that our friends from forumamontres can help identifying this one;
please see
https://forumamontres.forumactif.com/search?search_id=1956837300&search_keywords=lecoultre&search_where=f17&show_results=posts&start=100
You will need to scroll down quite far…
Hello,
Another attempt: movement no. 5 looks like this:
https://mb.nawcc.org/threads/is-it-a-genuine-1860s-vacheron-constantin.140520/
Hi Alphons,
you hit the nail on the head. Im really impressed.
Thanks you!
Movement #39 looks pretty similar to this one; marked Audemars Frères:
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/audemars-freres-pocket-watch-movement-537249898
Hi Alphons,
thanks again!
Yes, it looks similar, but in my opinion it’s not similar enough to identify #39 as Audemars Frères.
Hello,
Timepiece #80 : the logo is not a butterfly. Upside down it shows a Janus head. Therefor it might be a Braunschweig movement: Braunschweig & Co. , Fabriques Elli & Janus ; Manufacture des Montres Levrette
Hi Alphons,
you are absolutely right, it’s a Janus head! I did not see it before. Thanks a lot, you made my day!
Movement 42 = AS 111 ( https://watch-movements-archive.com/watch-movement/as-111-a-ponts/ )
Movement 44 = AS 186 (part of AS 175 family)
Hi Deniss,
thanks a lot for your feedback!
Movement 42 is very similar to the AS 111, but it’s not the same. Movement 42 has a different click and a pusher to set the hands.
Movement 44 is similar to the AS 186. But again, it’s not the same. Neither the dial nor the bridge side match completely.
Hello,
Nr 80 looks like Gebr. Junghans AG Schramberg, Deutschland.
Nr 85 looks like E. Blancpain & Fils Uhrwerke, Taschenuhren, Gehäuse; Villeret, Schweiz; registriert am 18.3.1884.
Info from https://mikrolisk.de/show.php?site=280
Greetings Peter.
Hi Peter,
Many thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, No. 80 is definitely not a Junghans movement.
Although the lion in No. 85 looks very similar to the one from Blancpain, it is not identical. Unlike the Blancpain lion, it holds nothing in its hand. I have also checked all the Blancpain movements I know of and unfortunately cannot find any similar ones.
Movement #41 – I have an identical movement I’m trying to identify from a 20’s/30’s Military watch – The BFG 899 is the closest reference I found, which lead me to this page.
The Swartchild 1946 catalog reference is not a match as it shows the fourth wheel position inline with the escape and third wheels. Our movements have the fourth wheel offset towards the outside of the movement forming an acute angle with the other two pivots.
Mine has the letters V and X inscribed under the balance, and the swiss-made inscription is a match for the BFG 899 reference you show.
No.33 could be a Record movement.
Unfortunately no caliber number is known.

Thanks again Chris!
What a find! Yes, they are pretty similar. But I doubt that these movements were manufactured by Record Watch. Record movements I know so far are complettly different. But who knows…
Movement nr 77 looks like a AS 18″‘ cal 220
https://forumamontres.forumactif.com/t31111-calibres-a-schild-extrait-de-la-classification-horlogere-1936
You are right, no. 77 looks pretty similar to an AS 220. But the dial sides are quite a bit different. Maybe a predecessor successor of the AS 220…
Hello
Timepiece no. 51 is probably an Alex Hüning.
I have the same timepiece in my collection.
Kind regards.
Chris Keller.
Hi Chris,
thanks a lot, I think you nailed it!
