Hi guys,
i just receive those pictures from a friend. I think that is an undecorated movement but i can't recognise the only mark it has.
It gives life to a silver Newton pocket watch with arabic numerals of the 30s that writes ancre 17rubis, antichoc.

Any kind of information will help.

thanks!

I just realise that the shape of its "emblem" has the same shape with France!

Thats not AP but HP which is Hyppolite Parrenin. A french movement maker back in the days. Afaik it is not based on the ETA, but could be wrong.
