The Vintage Wrist Watch Company

Description

UK POSTAGE ONLY

Gents 14k gold Longines wrist watch, 1958.

The watch has 17-jewel calibre 23ZS in-house movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 10,704,703 which dates it back to 1958.

The watch measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 14k gold and it is in lovely condition. The inside of the case back is signed Longines-Wittnauer and it also has the case maker’s mark for Kaspar & Esh of New York. This line of business grew and by the mid-1930s Kaspar & Esh had bought the exclusive US rights to Longines Wittnauer. The Swiss movement has the US import mark.

The lens is in lovely condition (there is reflection showing in the photos).

The signed dial has been professionally refinished at some point in the past. It is in lovely condition with faceted number markers, dauphine shaped hands and a centre seconds hand (possibly a period replacement).

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
