    I recently purchased this watch simply because I liked the shape of the case. Any information would be very much appreciated. The movement is marked "Peerless" and "S&Co" and bears the number 760361. The case is 18 carat gold. It has import marks for Glasgow for 1924 (date letter b) and a C.N. sponsor mark. The case number is 313280.

    Sorry, the images aren't as clear as I had hoped. The dial is signed International Watch Co. / SCHAFFHAUSEN.

    The excellent DateYourIWC application gives a movement production date of 1920 and the movement as a Calibre 64T.

    The S & Co. is for Stauffer which was owned by Charles Nicolet (CN as marked on your case) and the firm had a long association with IWC.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers from the cellar

    First movement with hand-setting via the crown. Very cool!
