Description

1929 Longines pocket watch.

The watch has a 15-jewel stem-winding movement, calibre 17.89M, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number, 5018859, dates it back to 1929. The movement is nicely decorated with Geneva stripes, sometimes known as Geneva waves because of the three dimensional effect.

The watch measures 43mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 10k gold filled and it is in very nice condition. The inside of the case back is signed Wittnauer Wadsworth.

Wittnauer were agents for Longines watches and in 1950, Longines actually bought Wittnauer and watches were sold under both names.

The acrylic lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial is in good condition, just minor marking, with original feuille shaped hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
