Well, it’s just a beautiful mystery!
It says something on the dial in the traditional brand location. Seems to be two words starting with an S and an M.
White hands with a gilt dial is odd, but legible. The stem looks oddly long as well, but I like the large open bow. I'm used to the bow, that hoop at top for the chain, being so small and close that it seems intended to prevent the crown from accidentally pulling out. The chain must sit to one side, which is inconvenient.
I'm surprised they didn't go with a larger onion crown, which would seem more in line with the ornate dial. Love the turned design on the case back.

Yeah, there are some letters, but I have no idea about what they stand for 😅
