Hi Francis, that is an Ansonia.

Mike thanks for that, any more detail that you can give me about them, or the watch itself? looks to be a size 18's or a little larger.

In the watch guide, they say that Ansonia Watch Co. was in Brooklyn, NY, owned by Ansonia Clock in Ansonia, Connecticut. 1896-1929, then sold to a Russian investor.
They take a special case. It's a "dollar watch" and they made about 10 million.

WOW 10 million so rare lol. thanks Mike I appericate that, i will have to keep my eyes open to get a case now.
