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 hunter-case pocket watch is crafted from 800-grade silver and dates back to 1889—a momentous era when the prestigious Swiss brand Longines won the Grand Prix at the Paris World's Fair.

The front cover features hand-engraved floral motifs and an elegant cartouche, and its compact approximately 43mm diameter size fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The porcelain dial, with its luster reminiscent of fine white china, is complemented by blued steel spade hands that add a dignified beauty. Whether kept in a waistcoat pocket for a classical look or placed on a desk to be admired as a small table clock, this timepiece brings a quiet, luxurious quality to everyday life.

While the service history is unknown, the balance wheel swings well and the watch runs vigorously with a crisp ticking sound.
