This may likely be one of Bulova's own. They had quite a few pocket watch movts that were made in their own Swiss factory. I've never been able to find out if they bought out an existing company or made these from scratch, it does seem unlikely in such a short period of time, but not impossible.
This is exactly the same movt found in early Rubaiyat pocket watches with 17 jewels. This is the lower end 7 jewel version, but these were all 19'''. The only 19''' record I can find is for an in house ebauche, the 19AT, but I am not convinced this is that. My gut thinks this is late teens.
We should keep this record, even if only as a movt, as it is the only 19''' pocket watch movt we have a picture of.
