Every now and then we come across an object in our collection that, at some point, was either mislabeled, misnumbered or misidentified. This is an example we came across yesterday.

We believe it to be a late 18th century, French made movement. There are no identifiable maker’s marks on the movement, but the dial plate is marked with a “30″, a “1739″ and a simple image of a crown. The most interesting feature is the silver balance bridge depicting some classical scene or personage.

Can you help us? Can you make anything out of the script at the top of the plate? Can you identify the person or scene depicted on the balance bridge?

Gave new life to my father's watch. The old metal wrist band was broken due to a car accident I had a couple of years ago. Replaced the metal wrist band with a leather one that's more in line with the style of the wedding. Watch for the wedding; check!
