Antique 1920s Lonville Pocket Watch

The watch has a Swiss seven jewel stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Lonville name. Lonville was part of the Langendorf Watch Company, a well respected Swiss watch making company and they traded for exactly 100 years from 1873. They used several brand names including Lanco, Larex and Lancyl. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover which has a small indentation. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is the gold plated Star model from the Dennison Watch Case Company. It is in nice condition. There are a former owner’s monogrammed initials to the back of the watch. The acrylic lens is in nice condition, just very light marking, nothing detrimental at all. The white enamel dial has three very faint hairline cracks running from the centre, towards 11, 3 and 9, they are difficult to see with the naked eye. The watch comes in a new presentation box.
