Hi Ben!

Welcome to Antiquers.......

Keep checking back for the Clock/watch people to view your post.

 

Kindly share more pics preferably of the back.

 

Hi the hall marks are hard the see in the picture, do you know what watch it is?

 

Do you see any marking or something like that.

 

http://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/whomademywatch.php is a nice resource -- but, basically, it is difficult to identify a specific Swiss maker before about 1927.

What is interesting is that the watch face numerals were not intended for the addition of the seconds dial! The "6" is quite mutilated.

 

WELCOME Ben !!! ... Joy,

 

Here are some better photos of the hall marks and mechanism which says Swiss made and the hall marks which say 9 carat gold

 

"Usage not recorded: see "The hammer with handle mystery" below." from the listing I cited. It is therefore 1925 or later. Only ones numbered "115" or "160" are known after 1934, but I can not read the number on the marking here.
http://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/swisspdm.php shows the known makers.

www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18829 shows quite similar markings to your watch. Therefore one can say the "FF" is a Glasgow import mark, and the "h" indicates 1924-5 (I might be off - but 1925 is in accord with the Swiss marking).

Routine pre-war lady's wristwatch, could be 1930 or so. Metal value only. The pictures are D-.

 

The number on the hammer Symbol is 114, so you know what make the watch is?

 

If I read the page correctly, the hammer number is for the maker of the case, not the watch movement. The page says the watch-case companies who used numbers other than 115 and 160 are unknown.

If you are lucky there may be markings on the watch movement itself as to who made the movement (i.e. who made the watch). Or someone who has a lot of experience may recognize the maker from the way it was made. But you will need significantly better pictures, possibly need to remove movement from case, and even if you do that there is no guarantee anyone here (or elsewhere) will recognize the maker. From what afantiques said, it sounds like the maker won't make much difference anyway.
