Hi I'm trying to find some information on this pocket watch. My grandmother gave it to me about 15 years ago. I believe her husband bought it for her maybe in the 50's, I'm not really sure. The box that it is in says MOERIS on the front. The front of the watch is a enamel drawing with a signature that I think says GAMET. Inside it says 17 jewels, Swiss made. On the dial it says GRAND PRIX and the numbers are roman numerals. Any information we would be great. Thank You Rachel

We can't really give you any information without really looking at the watch. Any chance of uploading photos? That said, commercial pocket-watch manufacture more or less ceased around the 1950s-1960s, so your watch would probably be one of the last that were ever made, if you know what I mean.
