Question

Giovanni and Co. watch
I have a Giovanni and company watch that was given to me by my Aunt. I have no idea how much it is worth but would like to find out. It has mother of pearl on the face, and diamonds around it. I have searched for a long time but can't find anything on it. I can't even find a vendor named Giovanni and Co. . So if you could help me out here that would be great or at least point me in the right direction. I have attached a picture of the watch if you want to see it. It came in a nice wood box as well, wrapped around a white leather pillow which you can see in the pic. Once again i would appreciate any info. you could provide.  

Answer
I am sorry I will not be able to help you.  I NEVER place a value on an item I have not personally inspected.  Based upon the picture alone it would appear to be a quality watch.  I would suggest you take it to a jeweler who is a qualified appraiser.  As to the firm name, I can find no listing, I suspect that is the name of the seller.  If you know how, I suggest you remove the watch back and see what might be stamped upon the watches backplate.  Again a qualified appraiser could help you.  Good luck and my regards WJP.
