Around 1886 Antique Longines pocket watch silver side niello case works well
SKU: 175553696
This is a pocket watch made around 1886 with a silver case inlaid with black alloy material.
The case back is decorated with a beautiful niello decoration and a monogram that seems to be the initials of the first owner.
There is little peeling on the niello part, and the watch has a beautiful combination of silver, black, and gold.
Although it is a slightly smaller watch at about a size 12, it can be used by both men and women.
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swings well and is moving smoothly and energetically.
We hope this wonderful antique watch will add color to your everyday life!
