Very interesting exposition of a niche!

What I am curious about is who made the movements in my vantage watches and why are they almost exact copies of the Laco and Endura movements, even the click and pallet bridge are the same. The Laco also does not have a country of origin on it and the Endura was made in Cadada.

To the best of my knowledge, there have never been wrist watch movements made in Canada. How have you come to believe the Endura is from Canada?

At first people have a hard time realizing the Swiss watch industry was fairly integrated -- many vendors bought and sold to whoever. 'Private label' movements where one vendor marks for another have been common for over a century. Laco and Endura probably made the movements originally.
