Novoris = Oris
Hi J.
first of all: my condolences on the passing of your grandfather.
Novoris was a trademark of the Oris watch co; this company still exist, but in the past they made watches (like yours) and clocks with their own movements, afaik these were all with pin-lever escapement, fair quality, but aimed at the lower end of the market.
It will not be very valuable money-wise, unless (and I would be suprised) the case is solid gold; it should be marked as such if it is; but in this case the emotional value obviously will make a repair worthwile; I guess any local "old-school" watchmaker should be able to help you out.

Paul: Thanks for the info. You are correct that the emotional appeal is a lot greater than the monetary value. I will see if I can get it running. J.
