Langendorf (Omega Group / SSIH) – Antique Marriage Watch – "Skeleton" Back – Men – 1910–1919
Rare 19''' Langendorf (Lanco) Pocket Watch Movement – 10 Rubies – Three-Finger Bridge
Lot Description: A fine example of Swiss horological history from the Langendorf Watch Company (Lanco). This large 19-ligne movement (approx. 43 mm) dates back to the early 20th century (c. 1910). It represents the era of transition when high-quality calibers moved from key-winding to the more advanced "Remontoir" (keyless) system.
Technical Specifications:
Brand: Langendorf / Lanco (Switzerland)
Caliber: 19 lignes (approx. 43 mm diameter)
Jewels: 10 Rubies. This is a superior and rarer configuration compared to the standard 7-jewel movements, offering increased durability for the gear train pivots.
Escapement: Swiss Lever.
Winding: Remontoir (Keyless works) – stem-wind and stem-set.
Architecture: Highly desirable "three-finger bridge" layout, prized by collectors for its aesthetic symmetry and traditional Swiss construction.
Finish: Original frosted gilt plates in excellent preservation with "Swiss Made" clearly engraved.
Mechanical: The balance wheel oscillates freely and the gear train appears intact. The Remontoir (winding/setting) system functions.
Historical Note: Langendorf was a powerhouse of Swiss precision. This specific 10-ruby variant is a robust and reliable caliber, showcasing the engineering excellence that eventually led Lanco to become one of the most successful Swiss brands of the mid-20th century.
Type: Mechanical manual winding.
Condition: Excellent technical and aesthetic state. The movement has been fully disassembled, cleaned, and oiled by a master watchmaker. It runs strong and keeps accurate time.
The gilding of the movement is in excellent condition.
The hands are gilded (possibly solid gold).
Finishing: Beautifully preserved original finishing, reflecting the high craftsmanship of early 20th-century Switzerland.
Case (Custom Marriage):
Material: New high-grade stainless steel case, specifically designed and custom-fitted for this particular movement.
The winding crown is handcrafted using a metal casting method
Diameter: Impressive 47 mm (excluding the crown).
Case Back: Exhibition (skeleton) back with mineral glass, offering a captivating view of the 110-year-old historic movement in motion.
Presence: A massive, robust case that provides a modern, "oversized" look while housing a classic heart.
Strap:
Condition: Brand new.
Size: Fits wrists up to 23–24 cm (ideal for large wrists).
Additional Notes: This timepiece is the perfect bridge between antique collecting and modern wearability. It is a unique piece of "wearable history" that stands out due to its size, its open mechanical display, and its direct connection to the Omega-SSIH heritage.
Water Resistance: Not recommended (as is standard for antique movements).
Shipping: Fast, insured shipping with professional packaging.
