That sounds like it could be the start of an interesting story. I like pocket watches so if I owned it I would probably restore it and remember that it came into the family under odd circumstances and like it all the more for that fact!

Does it say "6 Rubis" on the back? If so, that is a very low jewel count. I can't make out much more text, so transcription might help.

I had a hunch that this was not high grade. I agree with @ayadai above. If you can figure out how to get that stem back in (or if the part itself is broken), you're on your way to at least winding it.

I suspect that the little screw inside, you know, nearest the winding stem, may need to be loosened for insertion then tightened for retention. I'm guessing and so can you! If you're wrong, it's already broken anyway!

Thx for the reaction but if i am right, the winding stem is broken from where that screwed in to the watch
