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

This is a silver case pocket watch from around 1923. It is a half hunter (demi hunter) type that allows you to check the time even with the lid closed.
The front and back are intricately carved with floral motifs.
Unusually for a half hunter case, both covers are beautifully carved and decorated with floral and leaf motifs.
It is unknown whether it has been overhauled, 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!
