I was studying one of my family's old inheritance, a silver pocket watch made in Paris 1896(the clock is gone, but the shell remains), when it started to intrigue me whats written on it, since no-one could recall why and where my grand-grand-father had got it...
I uploaded the pictures here, it took some time to get good clear shots(The text is on the last pictures):

First I tried the 'Google Translate tool' , So I was able to translate some words, though I don't know how accurate, but I didn't get any response to the words written on circles.
Here's what I was able to read out:
medaille d'or
diplome d honneur
15 rubis
chronometre
auxindust agr man etcomm encour
nation agric manuf et comm agad
expos bordea
bordigala
Here's google translation:
Gold Medal
Diploma of Honor
15 rubies
Stopwatch
Auxindust agr man etcomm encour
Agric manuf nation and comm agad
Expos bordea
Bordigala
So I though maybe it is written in Latin or Greek or smth. Also if anyone can tell me something more about this watch, the info is more than welcome.
