Sorry.
My sister in law was given this by her uncle and us interested to know anything she can about it . No box or papers but it’s certainly an interesting and funky thing. I doubt it’s worth much though?

So it’s worth 20-30 quid?
Ask her to Google pocket watch on Ali Express.
I have had a few of these £8 to £10 pocket watch cheapies with the skeleton movement. They fail after 6-12 months and need a movement swap for something more reliable.
I am surprised it is still working.
