common zodiac pocket watch, probably 1950s, but hard to tell a precise mfg date. yes, they were all "hand assembled", swiss made. back should unscrew so you can view the movement and see if it is marked with the jewel count. man made rubies, probably 17 jewels. jewels have NO VALUE as gem stones. pocket watches like this are common and not valuable, not much collector interest. watch probably cost $20.00 USD new. movement / dial type is called a "sub second dial". I have a good friend who is a pocket watch collector/guru and I got this info from him.
