Help us out here. Where did you get the photo from? Retail store? Which retail store?

I wish I had more. I got the photo from an article about best skeleton watches and the photo was the header however, it wasn't even discussed. Just bait and I really want to know.

Then go ask the author or the layout editor of the article! ! ! ! !

no reply, I'm dying to know what this is

I searched online for about 45 mins last night with no success. Maybe someone else here recognizes that movement or watch.

I found the article showing the watch. I believe it is from about 3 years ago which complicates the search. I also searched for a while myself but could not find any watches with the distinctive green screws and escapement at the top of the dial.

I'm thinking it could be from a company called Forsining or Winner.

Uggh... It's a 'Shutterstock' image (not the Dapperwatch man's) so this might be difficult. On Shutterstock there are a couple of videos of the mechanism working but nothing to identify it.

I looked at quite a number of their watches / movements and they all had the brand name somewhere on the dial.

Easy enough to block a name off a digital image if you don't want to give credit to or pay a brand fee. Add a name to the area in the red circle. I also thought maybe it's a lefty watch displayed upside down.

 

[mikeyt_53]

Its possible its an upside down photo. While i was searching though i was looking for that distinctive escapement wheel without any success.

 

[adamge]

damn got home from work and you guys are grinding it. I appreciate the help. I'm going to check out the brands you mentioned and start there

 

[BunkerBoy]

I looked for a while too but didn't have any luck. I think that movement is from a higher quality watch though.

 

[Vintagepen]

My view is that the only manufacturers out there who use that tourbillon-like bar directly across the balance wheel in an open-heart design with blued screws at each end of the bar, are the Chinese. I don't think it is possible to identify precisely which 🏭 makes what in China, (besides the high quality Shanghai)

 

[mikeyt_53]

The more i look at it, the more i agree that the origin is likely China for that watch. Lots of bling but no real substance.
