Auction records describe ref. [[Reference:2303|2303]] with 17-jewel lever movements; several Antiquorum lots measure them at 10½ lignes. Christie’s records a case-band pusher on one example, while other catalogues describe crown-operated monopushers. The lot descriptions leave caliber and maker unnamed, so a Valjoux 23 / Cal. 13 assignment would go beyond them.

For [[Reference:3346|ref. 3346]], the Field Manual lists a 10-ligne Hunter movement; Christie’s, Phillips and Sotheby’s describe 10½-ligne manual movements in individual watches, with jewel counts of 17 or 18 in the catalogues. The book and Phillips call the movement in-house or patented, but the auction image sets reviewed here do not show a movement. No numbered caliber is established, and the size and jewel-count descriptions remain attached to their sources.
