We will be introducing antique pocket watches from Longines, a long-established manufacturer founded in 1832.

This is a pocket watch with a niello case made of pure silver inlaid with black resin, dating from around 1890.
The back cover, sides and crystal of the case are beautifully decorated with black and gold inlay.
There is little peeling in the niello parts, and the combination of silver, black, and gold makes this a beautiful watch.
It is a slightly larger watch with a diameter of 53mm and a weight of 120g, giving it a heavy feel.
It is unknown whether it has had an overhaul, but the balance wheel is in good condition and ticks along smoothly.

We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
