Circa 1923 Antique Longines pocket watch with flower and bird decoration, silver side Niero Hunter case, in good working order
SKU: 202403014165
We would like to introduce antique pocket watches from Longines, a long-established manufacturer with a long history established in 1832.
This is a pocket watch made around 1923 with a sterling silver case inlaid with black resin.
Both lids are decorated with Art Nouveau-style decorations of birds and flowers.
This watch has a beautiful combination of silver, black, and gold with little peeling on the niello part.
This is a slightly smaller watch with a diameter of 42mm, making it suitable for both men and women.
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swings well and is moving smoothly and energetically.
We hope that this “once in a lifetime opportunity” will be a special encounter for you!
