Crescent Watch Case Co. made the case...

Looks like it dates to 1901 turn of the century with the information provided by the previous comment. The silver content is more than present day sterling which is .925 your case is .935, 93.5% pure silver. Nice find

Great Find!
With the movement # you can usually track down the exact date & maker

I have a site that lists Makers/dates by movement #, can't find it now, am looking,
here's something http://www.antique-watch.com/index.html
Rather odd, I dug a .935 Movado WW, why did watchcase makers use 935 when not seen elsewhere?

The first thing that struck me about this watch was the numbering on the dial. It is numbered 5-60 rather than 1-12. I think this might be an early stopwatch. Most stopwatches also have the smaller dial that keeps track of minutes whereas yours doesn't. However, I was able to find some other examples that did not have the minute dial. Anyway, just my observation. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can look into the stopwatch theory. Is it possible that the winder on top of the watch could be used to start and stop a stopwatch?

The 0 thru 60 would be the seconds. I don't see the need for a sterling silver stop watch. If you can get a pic of the works( inside the back) I may can tell you a little more about it. Tony
