According to research by David Boettcher, this is very, very likely a ladies wristlet.
Thanx. Interesting read! Following his rules, it would be a ladies watch.

Is it possible that it is a converted ladies pocket watch? My niello example with the same movement:

What makes me doubt is the fact that is has subseconds. Thought that wasnt very common for ladies to have on a watch. But hey, my pw has it too and do not think that this model was suitable for men in those days.

Finding the same with an inscription seems to be impossible. Whatever it is, my conclusion is that ladies had more design and size options than men. Then and now. 😀
