We also have a large inventory of excellent vintage and antique watches → #nekoneko ●Description This is a valuable hand-wound model from the pre-war era (early 1920s) of the prestigious Swiss brand "LONGINES". Based on the serial number engraved on the movement, it can be identified as manufactured in 1924. It is equipped with Cal.10.86N, one of Longines' famous movements. The Geneva bridge-shaped mechanism, with the serial number engraved near the balance wheel, vividly tells the story of Longines' craftsmanship before the war. Its slow, low-beat rhythm has a charm that modern watches lack. The dial has a classic Arabic numeral index with a small second hand, a traditional layout. Based on the reference on the back cover, it is presumed that the case and dial were prepared later, but it is impressive that the mechanism packed with pre-war craftsmanship is still ticking. ●Detailed Information ・Brand: LONGINES ・Movement Serial: 4176887 ・Case Serial: 226134 ・Case Material: Stainless Steel ・Dial Color: White ・Hands: Blue hands ・Made in: Switzerland ・Year of Manufacture: 1924 ・Movement: Hand-wound Cal.10.86N ・Leather Belt: New, made by BAMBI ●Size Case Width: Approximately 30mm (including the crown) Lug Width: 16mm (Please allow for some margin of error) ●Condition of the Item ・Function: Currently operating normally, winding and time adjustment with the crown are also smooth. (Timegrapher measurement: Daily rate +154 seconds, Amplitude 212°) ※Due to the 100-year-old low-beat mechanism, the daily rate is larger than that of modern watches, but it is within the range of normal operation. ・Exterior: There are minor scratches and scuffs on the case due to aging, but there are no major dents and the edges of the case are sharp. ・Dial: Made of enamel (porcelain) that shines like genuine pearls, which is only used in high-end models nowadays, and is characterized by its white color that does not fade even after 100 years.
