Remarks:

• Quarter-hour repeater with two hammers on gongs (one is missing on the movement shown)
• Column-wheel chronograph (central stop second)
• Chrono cadrature on the bridge side, repeater parts on the dial side
• The movement is marked with two Swiss patent numbers
  • 334 on the dial side
    CH334 was granted to C. Barbezat-Baillot in 1889, and cancelled in 1904.
  • 12172 on the bridge side
    CH12172 was granted to Stolz Frères in 1896, and cancelled in 1901.
  • Probably Invicta used parts of these patents after they were cancelled, or the have licenses their usage before
• Identification as Invicta:
  • Several pocket watches signed Invicta have repeater movements marked with the two patent numbers 334 and 12172
  • So far I could not find movements with these two patent numbers in pocket watches from other manufacturers
  • The base movement was registered by Picard (= Invicta) in 1896 in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce as model no. 16 -> see extra picture
