Can anyone help with identifying this movement?
I have recently come across a picture of a watch movement in a non-watch related brochure and my interest as to what it was got piqued. And I figured what better place to ask about it... 😊
So anyone recognise this? Thanks in advance!
I'm almost 100% sure it's a Landeron manual chrono caliber. But I don't know yet which one 🤔

Is 100% sure like being almost right every single time?
But joking aside, impressive identification skills.
I have to fully answer to the question. Brand is ok but which reference is it? You know that I love rebus my friend so I can't give up 😉

Unfortunately, I can't find the exact reference. There's always little differences. I don't know if it's a "regular" reference or a slightly modified mouvement.
I guess someone here will find the full answer quickly 😁

I guess the marketing agency might have taken some creative license there... [nt]
No message body
That watch making course seems to do wonders...
Wonder when I will have a year's time to do something like that 
It helps for sure 😉
I wish you to have such an opportunity one day my friend.

I think it's a Landeron too - but somewhat "generic"
I can't find an exact match in any of my reference books. Have you considered it might be an adapted sketch for some other purpose, rather than exact tracing?
To see the actual scale, here are the boards which as a prank I set in front of my watch dealer's store one morning. The manager, Gary, appeared at 9am to "open up". He came in the back door and immediately saw his front windows blocked by plywood. He rushed out the front door to see what happened and was totally mystified when he saw the artwork. I thought he was going to have a heart attack. Ooops.

A few years ago a theatre in town did a show involving various concepts of time, and the set backdrop in one scene was a watch movement.
I foolishly went to the company and asked for the set backdrop when the show was over, and they gave it to me. A huge mistake on my part!
Two enormous plywood assemblies - all carefully painted by their set people, from a projected image on the boards.

Sorry if I have slightly hijacked your thread.
Not at all!
Such a cool story - and I have to say I love your pranks (at least not being on the receiving end 
).
).You are right, it was not meant for absolute precision, I guess, which may explain the failure to locate an exact match. Still learned something new
