An almost identical movement is described on page 106 of A. Chapuis and E. Jaquet’s “La mantra automatique ancienne”, Neuchatel 1952, Fig. 106, which is in the property of the Museum of the Ecole d’Horlogerie in Le Locle. This Swiss watch was produced for the English market and thus signed with the name of an English maker, albeit with a spelling mistake.
