Brand not always = manufacturer...
In Response To: Spritzer-Fuhrman brand ()

The brand name on the watch dial is not necessarily the name of a manufacturer. Over the years, many Swiss watch makers have made generic watches--often of very high quality--that were sold through various stores. If a store bought a large enough quantity, the manufacturer would print whatever name the store wanted on the dial to make them the store's private 'house brand.'

Several examples are Bucherer, Turler and Tiffany. But many others, especially with generic Swiss and Swiss-sounding names are very common.

So the odds of being able to track down the specifics on that watch may be remote. Your best alternative is to take it to a jeweler who is expert on older watches and have him examine the watch casing and movement and tell you how high-end of a watch it is and estimate its time period.
