Picked this up off the bay for 15$ as i thought it would be fun to service and make parts for if needed.  I tried a wind and surprisingly it winds and actually runs within a minute a day.

Looks like a cylinder escapement and a droite straight line escapement train.

I'll need to make a bezel and get a crystal and source a dial that fits at some point after I service it.  I think it will keep excellent time once done. 

My question is...  any ideas on the date or movement maker.  I dont see any marks on the movement but have not disassembled yet.  I figure it's swiss and I love the multiple cocks per wheel.

No idea of the maker but it is a lever escapement ("ancre") rather than cylinder. Looks like a counterbalanced pallet fork with the "bug antennae" is hiding under there.
