Paul identified is as a men's watch. The lugs and overall styling are consistent with what you might see on an early men's wristwatch. 29mm doesn't seem too small to be a men's watch. Are you thinking too early to be men's? Or in person, just too small?

Yes, I thought the same thing when I purchased it John. but I now believe it is a wristlet though may be not 100%. Hopefully they will chime in w their knowledge because I don't want to speak for them but Bernd convinced me enough that I think it likely is a females watch just based on the movement.
It is an interesting subject to ponder though. Mostly, I'm on a mission for the maker.

Here it is next to Calibre 47 men's watch advertised in 1915. To me, it is significantly smaller.
