Circa 1908 Antique Longines Pocket Watch with Floral Engravings, Silver Side Hunter Case, Good Working Condition
SKU: 202503015143
We will be introducing antique pocket watches from Longines, a long-established manufacturer founded in 1832.
[Brand Introduction] Longines
A silver-sided hunter case pocket watch circa 1908.
The front and back are intricately carved with floral motifs.
I believe this type of watch is made to order as each one has a different engraving.
The dial and mechanism are in good condition.
It is unknown whether it has had an overhaul, but the balance wheel is in good condition and ticks along smoothly.
We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
