The deposit / Depose protection expired after 5 years already if not prolongated. In this particular case it has been prolonged in 1913 and a second time in 1917 when Dubois-Peseux took over Lavina. In 1922 the protection was radiated when they did not pay the fee. This does not automatically mean that the movement has not been in production anymore, it may just be an indication that Dubois-Peseux did not fear to be copied any more.

And yes, I do have two which are WSC marked:

/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=6083&private=0

/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=6085&private=0

I dated these towards 1917 once.
Another is a 19J Gruen Guild marked which I dated towards 1921 and another 19J, Gruen Guild marked which according to the case should be 1926(?).
