Around 1911 Antique Longines pocket watch Niello decorated silver side case Works well
SKU: 174171353
It is called a niello case, which is a silver case inlaid with black alloy material.
The niello inlay on the case back has a floral design and is entirely gold-plated.
Niello and gold plating have peeled off and the dial has repair marks,
It is a clock with an antique atmosphere including it.
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swing is good and it is ticking and moving well.
We hope this lovely antique watch will add some color to your day!
