路After years of searching I've finally found a jumbo (37.5mm) bariletto case Longines. I wish I could say the quest has ended, but it must continue, this time for a dial. Which won't exactly be easy, but I'm confident and more importantly patient

路A beautiful watch! @valjoux72 : Maybe the Nomos watches have some more relatives. There is a little watch company in Germany called Stowa. Scroll down their page https://www.stowa.de/Antea/ and you will find some more mothers and grandmothers of the Nomos Tangente .There are pictures from a Lange watch and from a Stowa Antea watch, both from 1937. Both look very much like today's Nomos watches. Maybe Nomos copied their Tangente-design from those watches...
As a summary it could be said that there were at least three companies (Longines, Stowa and Lange) which sold watches in "cassa barilletto"-design in the 1930s and 1940s. It would be interesting to know which company created this design at first. If someone here has a Longines "cassa barilletto" made before 1937 please let us know.
Btw, wir sind mehr als Du denkst.馃槈

路I would have bought it, too! I like the somehow petrified impression of the dial and wouldn't replace it. Could you please tell us the year of production if known...?

路My contribution to this thread is a reference 5581, oversized 37mm sector dial. The dial tones alternate from light to dark depending on the viewing angle. Also has fixed lugs, but have had a lovely pigskin strap custom made for it from The Strap Tailor. Pretty magic watch. Still looking for a correct hour hand though! If any one has a good source let me know!
