Title Longines Hand-Wound Watch with Gold-Tone Dial Introduction This is a compact, vintage-style timepiece by Longines, featuring a cushion-shaped case and a gold-tone dial finished with applied baton hour markers and the brand's winged-hourglass emblem beneath the "LONGINES" signature. The dial presents a warm, brushed finish that complements the case tone, giving the piece a restrained, classic appearance typical of dress watches from its era. It is currently fitted with a black leather strap, which has been newly replaced and is not the original band. The overall silhouette, with its rounded square case and slender hands, reflects a design approach commonly associated with mid-to-late 20th century ladies' dress watches. Historical & Collector Value Longines, founded in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, has a long history in watchmaking dating back to the 19th century, known for producing both sport and dress watches across many decades. Timepieces of this style, compact cushion-cased models with hand-wound movements and simple time-only dials, were characteristic of the brand's dress watch offerings during the mid-to-late 20th century. Such pieces illustrate the design conventions of the period, when smaller, understated cases and clean dial layouts were favored for everyday and formal wear.
