Your Grandmother probably obtained it in Germany, the crown in the sun hallmark (the bigger one on the bottom left) is the mark Germans used on gold after 1884. It's a pity the Germans don't use a date system. The leaf will be your maker's mark, I can't help you with the maker but maybe someone else here can?
Inscriptions are often left by watchmakers that worked on the watch, the inscription on the cover is probably one of these.
