Family tree · none recorded

No lineage link to any other caliber is recorded for this design under the Heritage profile. That is a gap in the research, not a claim that none exists.

Identity

A caliber is three separate things and this reference keeps them apart: the construction, the names it is sold under, and the article a brand actually bought. A watch model points at an execution — never at a bare construction — which is why “same caliber” is almost never a complete answer.

IIIExecutions — 1 article

No source in this corpus states which grade any Valjoux 23 was bought at. That unknown is stored as a real row rather than left blank, so it can be counted, filtered and excluded from any comparison that would otherwise assume parity.

evidence: unknown

no source states which grade this article was bought at — this row exists so 'unknown' stays countable instead of becoming an assumption

grain 1 reference — every record here sits at the same level, so the count is one kind of thing.

Every brand here is on the strength of a source that names a watch and states this movement. Brands that use this caliber and nobody has sourced yet are absent — this is what has been researched, not what exists.
