Movement is unsigned, but according it's layout, chronograph & repetition design, ebauche can be attributed to Alfred Lugrin production.
The watches and watch movement manufactory Lemania was founded in 1884 by Alfre...d Lugrin (1858-1920), who had acquired his expertise as a laborer at Jaeger-LeCoultre in Le Sentier.
Because of the outstanding quality of his watch movements Lugrin received top awards and gold medals at exhibitions in 1906 in Milan and in 1914 in Bern.
From the beginning he had specialized in the production of chronographs, stopwatches and repeaters.
Till the year 1930 the factory had the name to Lugrin S.A., until Lugrin's son in law Marius Meylan established the brand name Lemania Watch Co. with headquarters in L'Orient.
In 1932 Lemania, Omega and Tissot joined to form the SSIH group.
Condition
The movement ticks, but I don't guarantee time keeping.
Chronograph functions correctly.
Repetition seems to strike as it should.
The only thing to mention is that hour repeating gong sounds dull and need to be regulated.
Dial has one hairline, visible under magnification, hard to show.
