The initials "FAC" stamped on a pocket watch movement typically stand for "Fabrique d'Horlogerie de l'Abbaye de Clairvaux," indicating that the watch was produced by a specific manufacturer or workshop. This mark suggests a connection to quality craftsmanship and historical significance in watchmaking. Such initials can also denote the brand or the origin of the movement, helping collectors identify the watch's provenance.
Westclox usually had a date stamped on the back of the movement (not the pat dates). If no date then it is usually from 60's up.
The stamped crown with the number 18 under it inside a pocket watch likely indicates that the watch has 18 jewels. Jewels are synthetic rubies used in the movement of watches to reduce friction and improve accuracy. A higher number of jewels generally indicates a higher quality and more precise timepiece.

The case and the back should be able to be separated by a sharp instrument and twisting carefully.
I have a 14k gold gold pocket watch case that has the same hallmark on it as well. I still haven't found out who the maker is.
