I found this watch in my father’s old apartment. I like the size and intricate design of the watch. But I have no idea what brand it is or what kind of movement is inside.
I couldn’t find any information online. Does anyone know what kind of watch this is?
Help is much appreciated.

Company started in 1972. Looks like they use old '50s and '60s Valjoux movements to make watches.
Seems to be a Berney. Didn’t find the exact model, but look here: https://www.ebay.de/itm/126046721360?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=707-127634-2357-0&ssspo=uoiQ18VuRm2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=aaaJGU59Ro6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
A picture of the caseback would be helpful.
The brand on the dial says Berney; There's info on google for the brand.
A google image search should help you.
If real it might be worth something.
And here is their website. You could ask their customer support for additional information: https://berneywatch.ch/
Pricy pieces. Not to be confused with "Berny" watches.
I contacted Berney Watches and asked about the watch. Here’s the answer:
“It is an older model from Berney, likely manufactured in the 1990s.
It is a piece made of steel with an automatic ETA 2892/2 movement featuring a Dubois Dépraz module that displays the calendar and the moon phase.
The retail price at the time was approximately 2500 Swiss Francs.”
