This is by far the nicest pocket watch I've found. Here's a few photo's. I opened it and found a small bird hallmark and 0.800 and some numbers. Google said the hallmark was used on 80% silver swiss watch cases from 1888 to about 1907. Also a word in cursive writing. Looks like "indrerlana". If anyone has any info? Good Hunting!

Nice find!, I've only ever found miscellaneous parts of pocket watches
 
Beautiful case on the pocket watch, it's surprising to see the working so thrashed, would of thought that it would of had a better movement.
Any future plans for the piece?

Thanks. I've already been looking into how I could restore it.

That is just beautiful! Love it!
