*from what is written the 15J movement above has a black dial with luminous figures along with the broad arrow British military insignia.

&cie is in the french for &co. (compagnie/company)
after initial clean up of the case there is a second hallmark inside the caseback below the Rubaiyat W. Co. hallmark.
it reads: Beguelin & Co.

Can just make out the '...LIN & Co.'
1916 Rubaiyat seems like a logical ID
not the easiest thing to document in an image Stephen but it's there.
