Around 1921 Antique Longines pocket watch Niello decorated silver side case Works well
SKU: 174775962
It is called a niello case, which is a silver case inlaid with black alloy material.
The niello inlay on the back cover is partly decorated with gold in a design resembling an iris flower.
The niello part has a lot of peeling, but this watch has an antique atmosphere.
It's a slightly smaller watch, about size 12, but it's a size that can be used by both men and women.
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!
