IWC spares box

Some years ago I acquired an IWC box of parts for the calibre 52/53 pocket watches. These calibres had a very long run from 1888 (as IWC à view) to 1927 Cal 52/3T). So this box could be from any time between those dates. I presume it is early 20th century. A few of the containers are empty.
Have any of you seen a similar box? Any idea of date?

That is very cool indeed. Nice find!

Hi Alan

I have one of those boxes as well.

With respect to the shape of the IWC logo I guess yours is from the thirties.

I had an exactly similar box but for 8541 caliber. I got it from a well known watchmaker in Angola who had plenty of Ingenieurs in his stach so I'm guessing that watchmakers would buy these in the old days for their repairing needs. Enjoy,

A great find!

A great piece of heritage. Is the serial number on the depicted movement legible?

A great find! Congrats!

Hi Mark

Well spotted. The number on the figured movement is 585229. That would make the box around 1913 assuming that they figured a contemporary movement.
