Around 1911 Antique Longines pocket watch Niello decorated silver side case Works well
SKU: 174171353
We will be introducing antique pocket watches from Longines, a long-established manufacturer founded in 1832.
It is a very labor-intensive product called a Niello case, which is made of a silver case inlaid with black alloy material.
The back of the watch is inlaid with a floral design and is gold plated.
The niello and gold plating have peeled off and the dial has been repaired,
This gives the watch an antique feel.
It is unknown whether it has been overhauled, but the balance wheel is in good condition and ticks along smoothly.
We hope this lovely antique watch will brighten your everyday life!
