This is a real oddity. I've never seen a display box like this before.
It actually has a motor in it which rotates the watch, I haven't had it running myself, but I'm pretty sure it does work. The inner part is a seperate unit that can be removed.
Some people have suggested a watchwinder, but my gut feeling is it's a shop display unit.
Initially because of the Deco styling my thoughts were early 50's, but looking at the motor and the fact it's battery powered makes me guess a little later, late 50's early 60's.
