Hello again,
Looks like Gallet & Co, Geneva,lyre logo.
Another possibility is ACHILLE DITISHEIM.
The clue could be in the movement.
British fantasy marks.

Wow! I didn't expect to have an answer for the logo!
Unfortunately this case is very good for its age (also with a glass) but is without movement. I found it in a old objects shop in Thessaloniki (not Bulgaria). I have other 2 cases pocket watches with exactly the same marks (one is Billodes Zenith with 3 dot opposite to this with 2 dots). The conclusion that I extracted from this research Is that the 95% of the ottoman pocket watches (not only mine), had "fake" British hallmarks, (or other that we don't have the knowledge)
Thank you AG2012!
