Hello everyone.
I have had this watch for 8 years now, and my research skills must have inproved greatly over those years as last night I was finally able to find out some information about it!
It came with the band which is removeable so you can either have it as a pocketwatch or a wristwatch.....note the little lug on the bottom.
The band has patent dates for nov 24.14 and Feb 13.17 with STURDY for the brand.
I found out that the case was made by P.W.Ellis & Co Canada and it is gold filled. It has the E inside a maple leaf trade mark. "BANNER" I am guessing is the style of the case?
The movement is marked Ethic Watch Co Switzerland and 17 Jewels and Three Adjustments. It is quite pretty to look at!!
I found an online ELLIS catalogue dated 1915-16, I will post the link, where I found a convertible watch like mine on page 15 if you would like to have a look.
The only thing I am not sure of now is the face of the watch which is marked "BEALL".......would this be the retailer's name????
I don't think there is anything else that I can tell you, but I think it is great and it has been ticking away nicely for about 20 hours now, oh it measures 1" in diameter.
Hope you enjoy this one, Thanks, Judy

Great research skills there tassie!!
Hi Fleafinder, thank you!!
Your research is great! I couldn't find anything about "BEALL". Could be the style of the watch.
Thanks Bonnie. I was going to post the watch anyway but thought I should have one more go at finding something so I just put in " E inside Maple Leaf" and woosh.....away it went with information. I was amazed!!!
