Trans Pacific Langendorf pocket watch
Trans Pacific Langendorf pocket watch.
The watch has a 21-jewel (two adjustments) Langendorf keyless movement which is working nicely.
Interestingly watches such as this are classed as “Swiss fakes” (it is still very much an antique, not a fake in the conventional sense). This is to say that Swiss made watches were made to resemble the popular medium to high grade American watches of the time. The watch that we have here appears very typically American with the ornate case and the American sounding name but it was actually manufactured in Switzerland.
There were several American sounding names that the Swiss used such as Hartford and Rock Island Express.
Taking all the above into account however, the “Swiss fakes” are considered collectable by some as they illustrate a stage in horological history and often they are actually attractive pieces.
The watch measures 45mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is 14kt gold filled and it is nicely decorated to the bezel and to the case back.
The watch glass is in lovely condition.
The signed dial has a patch of damage by number 3 and radiating hairlines although they are faint. Blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.
The watch comes in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
