Thats a bit special Shunggav! Any chance of seeing the other side and hallmarks as well - I'll try and date it for you. Should be easy to open and with any luck may still have an intact face if it is an enclosed pocket watch - which it looks like.

I know someone who can repair these for you if you are interested and the insides are good.

Nice find and thanks for sharing with us.

Neil
