I purchased this Service: Small French Pocket Watch (34mm) | Watch Guy small French pocket watch and am wondering when it was made and by whom ...

There are lots of photos if you follow the link, with markings on the plate etc.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Are there any hallmarks?

there are tons of photos of all the parts and stamps if you follow the link I posted ... no hallmarks, the watch case is steel.

Why do you think French? I would have assumed Swiss from the plain hands, though I'm sure that the French must have used them too.

Two reasons - the "A" and "R" (Avance, Retard) and the "DEPOSE" for "Brevet Depose" - patent pending (can't be marque deposee, as that has two e's at the end). I know there is French spoken in Switzerland ...

The only thing that might suggest French to me rather than Swiss is the lack of the Swiss cross by Depose. But it could be a design registration not patent (to prevent copying of the movement design).
