According to the movement number, the watch dates from 1867, when the typical mechanism of the Jürgensen bow setting was being patented.
With this mechanism, inclining the bow toward the dial causes the sliding pinion to engage the minute wheel, via an intermediate wheel, to set the hands with the crown.
