Abbotts made those watches.
Well.......unless they're actual *Willmann* watches like the man said. In which case they were made by...you know..."John Willmann* (son of Carl). John's son Walter lived in Chicago as recently as a few years ago. But I don't think he made the Multiplying Watch sets that Magic, Inc. used to sell. I think De Yip Louie made those. Trick, Inc. of Japan also made a whole series of pocket watch effects: Multiplying...Silk to Watch...Vanishing...etc.
And by the way...David...Welcome! You can usually get some little-known tidbits of info here....you just sometimes have to separate the wheat from the chaff....
