1881 IWC Pocket Watch Movement

A beautiful IWC pocket watch movement from 1881, the movement is still running. I find the IWC logo with the horse interesting.

It's amazing how clean that dial is, you would expect a few cracks after 140+ years. Is the dial enamel or porcelain. I'm sure a watch of that vintage has a few dates inscribed on the inside of the case showing when it was serviced

Looks like enamel to me, absolutely beautiful condition. Unfortunately I only have the movement, the case was probably melted down.
