Pocket watch from grandfather "AC Montoir"

[Bridgestoner]

This watch was a present from my grandfather. It's a bit rugged and one hand is missing. On the inner back you can read REMONTOIR (handwound by crown)
AC MONTOIA". There is no information about that brand in the www.
As you see, there are four complications deside second, date, weekday, month, and moving phase of the moon. As it seems, evrything is working properly. If anybody has information about this watch, thanks a lot! I going to post a shot of the movement later.

No information or ideas for further investigation?

Sadly, nothing I can add but good luck in your search. It looks well worth it. So many brands that were perfectly great in their day have since faded from view (and in some cases almost entirely from the history books), but that makes them no less valuable. 'Branding' didn't really exist as it does now, until relatively recent years. Watch makers were highly regarded, but not necessarily by the general public, and often watches didn't even feature the name of the maker on the dial. That looks like a fine watch. I hope you turn up some information on it.
