A movement shot would help.

Unfortunatelly I am total inexperienced regarding watches. Trying to open it by myself could result in permanent damage of the watch :(

Its probably relatively modern - 17 jewels with a sweep seconds hand. I don't know the brand at all, but the Antichoc shock protection system is commonly (but not exclusively) found in French made watches.

We can't give you any definite information about values - but modern pocket watches from obscure brands are not very collectable.

I have a couple of Prätinas as well and both have french movements (FE) so - despite the Umlaut in their name (the "Ä"), I think that the brand is probably french. Definitely a modern pocket watch, probably from the seventies.

Prätina was a low-cost/low-end brand of Dugena (Deutsche Uhrmacher-Genossenschaft Alpina), foundet in 1917 in Eisenach, later moved to Berlin and after WW II to Darmstadt.

Thanks, guys! Some other forums told me that it swiss made, probably from 70's. Even if I am not a watch collector, I liked the watch and I bought it today for the equivalent of 8 euro. That's why I asked for the price :) The watch is working well.

Here is the movement (but now I managed to stop the watch, it's not working anymore :( )





LE: Hahahahah, it seems that it has a fake chinese movement inside! :D :D :D
