Hello Leonard,
The unbranded item is not Touchon. As I am sure you know, many of the Swiss factories bought in ebauches and then finished them before applying their signature ( or not ). I think the gilt finished repeater is such a watch. The cases are interesting as Touchon were generally in gold 18k, not 14k.
Jewellers around the 20's and 30's often imported cases and movements separately and then for cased them in their own countries albeit with Swiss branded items. I think this was a way of avoiding certain customs taxes in place at the time.
I hope this was helpful.
Regards,
Paul

Hello!
Bought two repeater, mechanism one has signed Touchon , the second is not. I suspect that the second repeater is also Touchon ( unbranded samples on the lids are completely identical, although maybe it's not an indicator ) . Could You confirm or deny my guesses?
The first repeater No. 932 46mm
The second repeater No. 933 33mm--
Best regards, Leonard.
