Gents 9ct gold Longines wrist watch, 1924
UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM
Gents 9ct gold Longines wrist watch, 1924.
The watch has a Longines 18-jewel calibre 12.92 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is stamped with the Longines name, together with the B&Co for Baume & Co, importers of Longines to the UK and the Commonwealth.
The watch measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the fixed wire lugs. The case is 9 carat gold and there are hallmarks inside the case for London (import mark), 1924. There is also a for François Borgel, a very successful inventor and business man. His company became one of the most important watch case manufacturers of its time. He advertised his screw watch case, such as this example, as "imperméable", which means that he considered his screw case to be waterproof . Early adopters of the Borgel screw case included Longines and IWC. After François Borgel’s death in 1912, the business was carried on by his daughter Louisa. As with any vintage watch, however, we would not recommend that it is treated as still being waterproof or even water protected. The case is in good condition, just short light scratches to the back.
The lens has light marking but difficult to see with the naked eye.
The dial is in lovely condition. A slightly more unusual number configuration with numbers 4 to 8 being the right way up, rather than upside down. A little of the finish has come off the pin-set hands.
The watch comes in an antique presentation box from the Liverpool and Manchester jeweller Penlington & Batty.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
