Out of curiosity I removed the dust cover to find the watch is stamped on the movement…

Out of curiosity I removed the dust cover to find the watch is stamped on the movement Cromer Limerick.A little research informed me that Cromer came to Limerick around 1850,married someone in the business and was listed here as a watchmaker.I presume the movement was made for Cromers and cromer limerick was engraved at the time of manufacture.

Does anyone have any info on Cromer watches?
