Clocks, Watches/giovanni & co. watch?

Question
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.
AnswerI 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.
