·What do you suppose this dial is all about? ☕ I’m not bidding on it, just curious
Pocket watch with 1 to 0(?) on the dial?

·I'd vote for industrial Time & Motion stopwatch (or other manufacturing/laboratory function). Hundredths of a minute for the central hand, minutes on the sub-dial. Single pusher to start, stop, reset, notice the gap at the base of the crown.

·Here are some Heuer variations on the theme, unashamedly taken from Jeff Stein's On The Dash excellent resource on all things Heuer for timing whatever you might need to time http://www.onthedash.com/document/1963-catalog/

·I don’t remember which railroad it was. Their official time standard recognized 23:59:59 and 0:01 as being midnight. Perhaps the 0 fits in there, somewhere. But the subject watch is not a “watch” in the typical since, but more of a timer for a dedicated purpose. Heuer at one time made a stop watch on which the sweep hand travelled in the clockwise direction, but the numerals on the dial went counter clockwise. It was used in broadcasting, and IIRC was called a “count down timer”. Anything’s possible.
