Title: Rare 1915 Sterling Silver Tiffany by Longines Serviced
Description: GOOD condition. This is a magnificent and rare early Longines wrist watch, sold by Tiffany Circa 1915. The earliest wrist watches ever made don't go back much further than this. Certainly a fine, rare and unusual alternative to the usual vest pocket watch worn by most gentlemen. In a gentlemen's square three piece sterling silver snap back case with the original porcelain dial signed Tiffany and Co. and Switzerland just above the subsidiary seconds bit which is at 6. Near perfect but previously buffed signed case (see close up photos by clicking on the image to the left) original silver cabochon crown and cool new hands. The high grade hand wound Swiss made Longines Caliber 11.84N movement but does show light wash out where the nickel plating is faded. This is caused by cleaning solutions. It has 3 adjustments and also has been fully serviced, oiled and timed by our watchmaker. This type of watch case although fairly tight in this example, is not a type of case for water and dust resistance. In fact, my watchmaker taught me that they are made to "breath" so that if a little moisture enters, it can also exit when the environment equalizes. The original spring bars with screws are also included along with a new brown watch strap. Fantastic and rare time piece which could be worn by either a man or a woman at this size. Perfect glass crystal. Comes with a one year service warranty. Measures 29 mm wide (not including the crown) x 35 mm long x mm thick. {$1079} Item #5352
