Double sided Longines pocket watch

Here is a brilliant Longines pocket watch that looks amazing no matter what side you look at it.

Made in the 1924 by Longines, this pocket watch not only tells the time on one side with the addition of a stop watch, which alone makes it wonderful to admire, but is a rare double-sided pocket watch.

With the "front" telling the time and able to be used for timing, the white enamel dial highlights those beautiful numerals with the seconds being able to be read at the bottom, and when the crown is pushed down, this will start the centre sweep seconds and the top minute counter for the stop watch function.

Then turning the pocket over, reveals the most incredible and highly detailed dial that will have you looking at it even more than the front. While Longines made a few variations of this dial, the one on this pocket watch is their most highly detailed one

Then turning the pocket watch over reveals the most incredible dial. With so much detail, this tachymeter dial, like the front dial, is in exceptional condition. The tachymeter is able to measure speed based on the time travelled over a fixed distance. As these were true working-in-the-field pocket watches, so many of these have damaged dials that are either chipped or cracked, whereas this one has both dials in superb condition.

The nickle silver case measures 52.5mm across by 71.5mm to the top of the bow, and inside the seventeen jewelled Longines calibre 19.73N has been fully serviced and comes with our twelve month warranty.

This is a truly exceptional pocket watch, that is not only so hard to come by, but one in this condition even harder, and will certainly be a wonderful talking point and conversation starter each time anyone looks at it.
