Watch : Antique Silver Longines Wrist Watch, 1928

The watch has a signed Longines calibre 13.34 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is also signed B&Co, for Baume & Co, importers of Longines watches to the UK and the Commonwealth. The movement is protected by an inner hinged cover. The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the articulated lugs and winding crown. The case is hallmarked for London (import mark) 1928, with a sponsor’s mark for Arthur Baume of Baume & Co. The case is in lovely condition. The acrylic lens is in lovely condition. The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, T S Cuthbert, Glasgow, listed as retailers and watchmakers / repairers. The dial has two faint hairlines at number 10 but not overly noticeable to the naked eye. The watch has a vintage leather strap, and it all comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).

The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes. All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
