Large Antique Longines Pocket Watch, 1883

Large antique Longines pocket watch, 1883.

The watch has a stem-winding lever set movement which is working nicely, it is signed with the names Longines and Baume. The movement also has the Longines winged hour glass logo which was registered in 1889. Baume & Co were based in Hatton Garden, London and were the UK agents for Longines. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover.

The watch itself measures 55.4mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is nickel. The case has light surface marking from use but overall it is in nice condition. The inside of the hinged case back has the Longines case reference 312102 which dates it back to 1883.

The glass lens is in nice condition.

The blank dial is in good condition… we would not expect it to be signed Longines or Baume as this space was often left blank for the retailer to add their details. Lever set hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and an outer minute track.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
