Pocket Watch: Silver Longines Full Hunter Pocket Watch 1883

The watch has a good quality stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Longines name and logo, and also the name Baume, the importers of the watch. It is all protected by an inner hinged cover which has a small indentation. The watch measures 49mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is silver and there are hallmarks inside all three covers for London 1883, with the mark AB for Arthur Baume of Baume & Co. Engine turned detail to both the front and back, still nice and crisp. There is the merest hint of unevenness to the front cover, and two pin prick marks to the back but overall, very acceptable. The winding crown pushes in to open the front cover. Inside, there is a glass lens which is in lovely condition (some natural light reflection showing in the front photos). The dial is in lovely condition with lever-set blued-steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute track. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us regarding international shipping costs.
