That is probably the mark of the case maker. Very few watch makers made their own cases. Do you have any parts of the watch? Tony

Nope. Just this piece. I tried searching for "Domon & CO" but nothing related popped up.

Domon is a trademark of Montilier. The company made "railroad style" watches for the US market among other things :

A Domon watch :

A French site lists a "MONTILIER - MONTILIER Watch Co (Domon Fils&Cie) Fabrique d’Horlogerie Montilier" watch; no picture given. Domon "Fils & Cie" translates to Domon "Wire & Co."; "Fabrique d’Horlogerie Montilier" roughly means "Manufacture Montilier Clock industry".

Though it looks (to me) like "Domon & CP", it may be "Domon & CD"... referring to his partner, Constantin Dinichert (worked with Domon from 1860-1916) :
