Hi, Gang!

I initially asked folks for ideas regarding this Swiss made Bieri watch (ancre) from the World War II era. At the suggestion of a mate on another forum, I've taken some movement pics in an effort to learn more about this watch I've had for several years. The movement pieces had the names "Zewoga" watch company and Minerva watch company on the gears. Some web searches didn't turn up too much info. Are any of these helpful in finding more about this watch? dave:

It uses Minerva Cal. 49 movement. The maker itself seems sketchy to me. It seems one of those "vintage" WW2 brands that I've never heard about before.

THANK YOU, gentlemen (yeah, YOU both, heh!), for the feedback. I too have not uncovered anything substantial about the watch, but I'll keep looking.
