Can anyone tell me anything about the Kino Watch company? (And yes, it's definitely Kino, not poorly stamped "King")

I have a small ladies wrist watch in a 14k white gold chased and engraved octagonal case. The movement is marked:

Kino W. Co
15 Jewels
3 adj.
Swiss
F/S & A/R on speed adjustment
"ELLM" engraved by hand

There is no face, or the face is worn away, as the hour hand is still in place, and the movement runs while placed flat face-up.

I'm mainly interested in finding any history of the Kino company, and if their pieces are any good.

Thanks for any help you can lend.

I have not heard of it, sorry.
