Description

1920s Lonville pocket watch.

The watch has a nicely patterned Swiss seven jewel movement which is working nicely. The movement has been identified as a Lonville which was a part of the Langendorf group. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a little marking.

The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made in Michigan by the Star Watch Case Company. It appears that many Lonville movements were sent to the US as there was an active importer there for many years and it seems the brand was quite export focused.

The glass lens is in lovely condition.

The dial is in lovely condition and has its original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration
