A Fine Longines Pocketwatch

This Longines is a bit larger than a standard 18 size watch, and its heavy silver hunter case case gives it an even more substantial feel.  It is stem wound and lever-set.  

My watch history knowledge is more limited when it comes to pieces like this.  I mostly stick to American makes.  So I can't say much about the lineage of this piece of the top of my head.  If I had to guess I'd put it in the ballpark of 1900.  Some of it's parts are somewhat roughly finished indicating early machinery and some handwork.

Perhaps someone with more information will comment.

I was unfortunately unable to do a repair on this watch.  It needs a part that in spite of all efforts could not be located.   It's mainwheel is all chewed up.  The watch as a result can not be wound or set.  This is a shame because it is in good condition otherwise.  I put just a little power on the mainspring and it ran nicely for about an hour.  

Really nice watch...
