1927 Longines Pocket Watch Chronometer In 18k Yellow Gold
Why This Watch Matters A beautiful, solid gold pocket watch from one of Switzerland's most storied brands. The Full Story Did you know Longines can track the serial numbers associated with 50 million different watches dating back to 1867? The company should be lauded for maintaining one of the largest archives in the entire Swiss watch industry, preserving its history for the future. Today's watch dates to 1927 and is an open-faced pocket watch, with a solid yellow gold construction that radiates a resplendent old-world charm. This chronometer-grade pocket watch, of course, comes with an extract from the Longines Archives that confirms it was invoiced on February 28, 1927 to Wirth, a Longines agent in Switzerland. The blued fleur-de-lys hands, Breguet numerals, and small seconds display all add up to a compelling combination of substance and style. The intricate engraving on the caseback, which appears to be someone's initials, complements the vintage appeal. It's worth nothing
