Elegant Solid Silver Longines Watch, Made in Switzerland in 1930. In Perfect Working Order
Magnificent Longines pocket watch, crafted from solid silver in 1930. This beautiful, elegant, and distinguished watch is of Swiss origin and is in excellent condition and working order. Its mechanism has been serviced, and today the watch runs just as it did on the first day. At nearly ninety years old, the watch looks practically as if time has stood still.
Longines is a leading name in the watchmaking industry. Founded in Saint-Imier (Switzerland) in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz, it is recognized worldwide for its hourglass-shaped logo. This symbol is the oldest in the field of watchmaking and still adorns Longines timepieces today. The brand name is printed on the white dial, which is in near-perfect condition. It features black Arabic numerals, a seconds hand, and a minute track with red numerals. The case surrounding the dial is gold-plated silver, as is the crown.
On the pendant, we can see a hallmark guaranteeing the quality of the silver. The watch's case back is extremely elegant, with a fine mesh pattern and a smooth central coat of arms engraved into the metal. Inside, the Longines logo and name appear, along with the capercaillie hallmark, the silver fineness (0.800), and the serial number 5070620. The name LONGINES is engraved once again on the dust cover, accompanied by the ten Grand Prix medals won by the company at various exhibitions. Inside, the serial number and the capercaillie hallmark are repeated, and the number 19 also appears. The movement, meanwhile, is signed with the brand name and also bears the same serial number as the watch.
This fantastic Longines watch is a gem of considerable age and beauty that will delight even the most discerning collector of vintage watches.
