Longines - 1900-1949

Overview
This is a classic Longines open-face pocket watch with a very refined old Swiss character. The clean white dial, elongated Arabic numerals, elegant decorative hands, and subsidiary seconds create a balanced and highly attractive appearance. What makes this example especially appealing is that it comes together with a period-style metal pocket watch chain and a fitted presentation box marked Hagsten City Falun, giving the whole set a strong collector’s presence. The key attraction lies in the Longines name, the complete presentation, and the impressive award engraving inside the cuvette.
