It's difficult to catch the beauty of the starry night on the dial.

Below information from Russian Watch Collector on another known watch. About 7 Longines Kahn wrist watches have shown up. 90% of all Kahn are pocket watches. Of the wrist watches only a very few are Longines. Russian watch collectors consider the Longines Kahn a grail watch.

Serial number references tell me 1922. Calibre 12.92, 15-jewels, Canadian white gold filled case. Vitreous enamel dial, original hands. This one the result of assembling the best parts of two early 1920s Longines.
