Just found this funky montres Allison at a thrift store for 7$ I’m all over cheap and quirky watches so exciting find, quick google search reveals interesting history behind this brand but seems they’ve moved to higher end tourbillon movements/cases. Seems like earlier models were cheap “Frankenstein” builds with various cheap parts. Any info on it’s appreciated, don’t care what it’s worth but if anyone knows what movements inside/where it was made it would be much appreciated!

Yup! Boy this brought back memories. 20 years ago we used to roast this stuff for being ugly, poorly-made ripoffs. I had completely forgotten about that name.
