I've been trying for a couple hours trying to figure out the manufacturer of this movement.   On the back it looks like C. W. MFG CO.  On the dial perhaps its C C V?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   It is is a silver Blauer hunting case.

Quite often the movements were bought in and cased and the name engraved on the plate, others were plain other than the actual makers number. Tracking down who did what can be interesting, Dennison was one of the big casemakers.

Hi @easj369- if you'd already worked out that C&W Mfg is 'Courvoisier & Wilcox Manufacturing' who were case makers and are after information about the movement (?) ... it's worth posting actual picks of the movement dial and workings/bridge side.

I'll go ahead and take entire photos of the movement and dial, I just figured someone might recognize that fancy script logo on the dial.   Thank you guys for the info so far.

That does look like an N and an E plus Co ... so New England (Watch) Co.?

But then there's this ... https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/profile/pocketwatch101/collection/view/107978

Look familiar?! So here the CW aspect on the movement is being interpreted as Columbus Watches ...?

Thank you.   I thought I went through all of the companies starting with C on the website.    It has a bad balance in it so hopefully now I can go on the route of finding another.

    • The ones I have opened also do not have a pry point , hence the reason for the tool. The watch is clamped in the tool and a blade is screwed into the seam, the blade being chamfered lifts the back then the screw shaft is turned and the back comes off have a look on Ali express for case back removal tools
    • I don't think I need to know more about the question now, so please don't write anything related to the topic. Thank you to everyone who wrote. Have a nice day.
    • It's an exhibition back so no access as you suggest.
    • I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark
    • Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.
