Hi, does anyone recognise this as a Swiss movement. It looks like a Hangzhou or Sea-gull to me. It’s out of a Dreyfus with Swiss Made all over it.

Thanks.

wot?

I see nothing either.

The site kept crashing end erroring out. I didn’t even know it had posted, meanwhile we’ve moved on from that particular project

But here it is

Interesting configuration, the cannon pinion and hour wheel on the movement side.

It seems to be a Seagull TY2809, (31mm)
"Swiss Made" doesn't mean anything nowadays,
they take a Chinese movement or ebauche, add a few "make up" in CH, then call it "Swiss Made"

It’s 25.6mm. It has a stop lever that interferes with the fourth wheel and a floating seconds pinion. It’s an extremely complicated answer to a non complication movement. No wonder it went kaput! Meanwhile I’ve removed the stop lever and made it a two hand watch - problem solved it now runs like a boss.

Glad to read that you fixed it. Congrats.
I guess it's a smaller variant of TY2809, bridges, balance design, setting lever ... are exactly the same ones.
