Beautiful watch with a fantastic engraving. You can read a bit about Longines' 75th anniversary celebration in this document: http://www.watkinsr.id.au/Francillon.pdf

@Syrte Check out this watch! 😀

Whoa, fabulous, thanks @DirtyDozen12 for the ping!! 👍
I wonder whether the Longines archive mentions the engraving as it appears to have been offered by the company itself to one of its employees. It does say it was invoiced to itself which is a good start.

Earlier today found this pocket watch on ebay and made an offer. It's not working but should be a nice project. Serial dates it around 1900.

How about a diver in the midst of so many classics?

I have just come across this watch in a cupboard at a relatives house. It seems to me like a Longines from the 1920’s era, but I am not sure.

If anybody has any thoughts, I’d be happy to hear!
