c. 1889 Antique Longines pocket watch, 800 silver hunter case, 43mm diameter, in good working condition

We are pleased to introduce an antique pocket watch from Longines, a long-established manufacturer with a rich history dating back to 1832.
[Brand Introduction] Longines

This is a hunter-case pocket watch made of 800-purity silver, produced in 1889—the memorable year when the prestigious Swiss brand Longines was awarded the Grand Prix at the Paris Exposition.

The front cover features floral engraving (hand-chased) and an elegant cartouche, with a compact size of approximately 43mm in diameter that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The porcelain dial, which retains a luster like white china, is complemented by the dignified beauty of blued steel spade hands. Whether tucked into a waistcoat pocket for a classical look or placed on your desk as a small timepiece to admire, it brings a quiet and luxurious atmosphere to your daily life.

While the overhaul history is unknown, the balance swings well and it runs energetically with a steady ticking sound.
