About LONGINES - "The World's most Honored Watch"  

"The only watch in history to win 10 World's Fair Grand Prizes and 28 Gold Medals -- to be classified 'first' in competitions organized by the four government observatories; Washington, Kew-Teddington, Neuchatel and Geneva -- official watch for sports and contest associations the world over." Longines Wittnauer Watch Co. INC.  

The Longines watch company was founded in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz in the town of Saint-Imier, Switzerland. The company initially produced pocket watches with crown-wheel escapements. In 1867, Longines produced its first chronograph movement, and soon after became known for producing high-quality and accurate timepieces for sports, aviation, and scientific measurement.  

In 1912, Longines developed the first automatic timekeeping device for sporting events, which allowed for more accurate timing of races and competitions. Longines became the official timekeeper for many prestigious sporting events, including the Olympic Games, and developed a reputation for producing accurate and reliable chronographs.  

Longines Watch Co. is one of the oldest watch manufactures from Switzerland with a wonderful and unmatched history of invention, innovation, patents and awards. Longines made some of the most beautiful watches ever made!   

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size. 

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust the lighting, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that. 

The condition is pre-owned. 
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. 
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.  

It will be carefully packed.
