"I am looking for information on Uroga Watches. I believe it to be a German brand. Are you familiar with this brand and if not, can you point me in the right direction. Thank you for any assistance you can provide."

Dear Sir, I would like to ask you a question about a pocket watch that My family possess from about 60 - 65 years. The case is made in Stowa company, but the movement is unknown. I would appreciate any help in recognition of this movement. All that I know is that Stowa was imported their movements from Switzerland, mostly from Unitas. Unitas told me that this movement is not their manifacture. Stowa told me that it is Durowe, but they can't prove it neither with written facts nor with the manifacture of another similar watch. I hope you will share any information you have about this watch. Thank you in advance.
