Today's offering showcases this striking "pointed hourglass" watch by Longines from the era that culminated with designs like the '57 Chevy and '59 Cadillac.
We previously fully restored the watch, and it presents beautifully! The dial was refinished by one of the leading dial companies in North America. The case presents as just short of mint.
As part of the restoration our watchmaker freshly serviced the movement and installed a new-old-stock Longines-Wittnauer crystal.
It was purchased from us five years ago and became part of the discerning collection of a renowned pediatrician.
Included with the purchase is a 90-day international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a timing certificate attesting to its performance.
