No. 727 / Longines Pocket Watch - 1981

Longines Pocket Watch With Box and pouches / 1981 Intro This Longines "Full Hunter" pocket watch from 1981 features a stunning white porcelain dial with classic Roman numeral indexes. It comes with its original box and leather pouches, which are rare these days. It is powered by the Caliber L846.4 hand-winding movement, known for its durability. Story From its creation in St-Imier, Switzerland, in 1832, Longines has produced pocket watches that have adorned the waistcoats of notable figures. Albert Einstein favored one before his international recognition. These associations with historical icons add allure and provenance for collectors. However, there are variations among pocket watches, and "Full Hunter" cases like this one—featuring a solid metal cover that protects the dial—are especially prized for their classic look and complete protection.
