Love that! Makes total sense!
@TimeODanaos I appreciate the vote of confidence but clearly we have to defer to @Radiumpassion’s findings!

 

It's unfortunate that the pics dont show the hands dark blue color, have pics of the caliber I'll dig through and show, think it's an 18.89M. Really getting into vintage pocket watches lately, its amazing to me that something can be 100+ years old and still keep spot on time

 

Interesting, thank you!

 

The dial catalog can be downloaded from this great website, just

Another interesting note is the hands are squared off at the ends, you really dont see that alot, looked at hundreds of longines pocket watch listings and haven't see one like mine yet!

 

But of course - le mot juste!
Frankly, after a slightly ill-tempered week of newbie-baiting and grandstanding, it's great to come on the forum and see something uplifting from the world of watches, so thanks @Radiumpassion for that.

 

Here are some photos of the longines movement on the pocket watch

I beg the indulgence of the ruling authorities of OF, for bumping a part of my own earlier thread, in my quest for knowledge...

Can anyone gently educate me, please?

 

Are they male or female springbars?

 

Thanks - male.

 

Never seen them before, at first glance they looked like a piece from a
broken bracelet

 

My recent pickup on OF.

 

Wow, so incredibly sharp and pristine
Here’s the one I’m wearing now.
