    Hello,

    I am here to search a few informations about this watch. It has belonged to my
    great grand father. He probably buyed it between 1920 and 1940 but i haven't
    more informations, except that it's gold (probably 14K). The watch has a "JWC"
    inscription at his back and i have read that the old IWC watches got this
    mark. The chassis number is 423926 and the movement number is 395792. I also
    have to fixe the glass problem, as you see, it's untied.

    Thank you very much in advance for your answers.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    You have a cal 57 from around 1907, 1908.

    If you get the glass fixes, maybe change the hour hand too.

    Nice memory of your great grandfather.

    Thank you for your fast answer. I am surprised, i would never have guessed
    that it was that old.

    Here is a picture from the movement if it can interest someone:
