I bought this watch at a flea market, and I don't know anything about it. The vendor said it was called a "Parking Meter" watch, because the bottom half looks like a parking meter. The dial inside is a timer--it goes up to 60 minutes.
The only names on the face are "Amaryllis" and "17 Jewels." The back of the watch is blank. I can't find any information on-line about this watch company. Any help in identifying the watch, or the company that made it, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

There is no other writing on the face of the watch. I am not sure how to get the back off. Suggestions?
