Antique Longines Pocket Watch, 1928

Antique Longines pocket watch, 1928.

The watch has a stem-winding movement, 19.75N, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 4,754,277 dates it back to 1928. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which is also signed Longines, and it has details of nine Grand Prix medals won at trade exhibitions.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the galonne design which is 800 silver with rose gold wash detail. The inside of the case back has the Longines stamp which includes the initials E F Co, which relates to the founder of Longines, Ernest Francillon.

The case is in good condition, some surface marking but nothing too serious. The engine turned detail to the back of the watch is still nice and crisp and there is a central vacant cartouche to the hinged back.

The watch glass is in good condition.

The signed white enamelled double sunk dial is in lovely condition. There is an outer minute track with the 24 hour numbers picked out in red.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
