Hello, I am a new and happy owner of a vintage IWC watch (dated from 1901 as
per the "date your iwc" program). It is supposed to be a Calibre 52 Lepine 19
lignes H7. Interstingly the movement looks exactly like the one in the picture
of the "home page" of the iwc collector forum. Does that match the type of
movement ? Thank you

MasterWelcome to the forum and congratulations on your "new" IWC pocketwatch. It
does indeed look to be a match, although the fine regultion mechanism may be a
little different. The watch in the photo you reference is resting on a page
from the IWC archives. On the right side of the page you can see a column of
numbers, starting with 280746. These are serial numbers for lepine cal 52 19
lig H7 movements produced in 1903, possibly matching the movement in the
photo. Your movement number must be a little lower;) -
