Circa 1908 Antique Longines Pocket Watch with Scroll Engraving, Silver Side Hunter Case, Good Working Condition
SKU: 202504255142
We will be introducing antique pocket watches from Longines, a long-established manufacturer founded in 1832.
[Brand Introduction] Longines
A silver-sided hunter case pocket watch circa 1908.
The obverse is carved with a scroll pattern of plants.
I believe this type of watch is made to order as each one has a different engraving.
The dial and mechanism are in good condition.
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!
