Pocket Watch : Antique 1920s Lonville Full Hunter Pocket Watch

Lonville was part of the Langendorf Watch Company, a well respected Swiss watch making company and they traded for exactly 100 years from 1873, and the name has recently been revived. They used several brand names including Lanco, Larex and Lancyl. This particular watch has a stem-winding movement which is working well. The movement is signed Lonville. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover. The watch itself measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gold plated and was made for Langendorf by the Star Watch Case Company, Ludington, Michigan. The case has light surface marking from use and a few small “dings” to the front and some fairly gentle unevenness to the back. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside there is a glass lens which is in nice condition. The dial is in nice condition with just minor marking, barely visible to the naked eye. Original blued steel hands. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
