Condition and operation

The watch is in a beautiful authentic vintage condition with normal wear and aging signs fitting for a watch over 100 years old.

The porcelain dial is particularly well preserved for its age. See the photos for the exact cosmetic condition of case, dial, glass and strap.

The mechanical movement runs but currently shows too large a rate deviation. The watch is therefore offered as working, but in need of servicing. For reliable and accurate daily use, a maintenance service is recommended.

A special collector’s item for enthusiasts of Longines, early wristwatches and historic watchmaking.
