Cuervo & Sobrinos Silver Niello and Gold Art Deco Open Faced Pocket Watch 1940's

About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Longines for Cuervo & Sobrinos STYLE / REFERENCE: Open Faced Pocket Watch / Art Deco METAL / MATERIAL: Silver / Rose Gold and Niello Inlayed CIRCA / YEAR: 1940's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length & Diameter 46mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 17 Jewels / Caliber 37.9 DIAL / HANDS: Silvered with Breguet Style Blued Steel Moon Hands WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This unique open faced pocket was produced in the 1940's by the legendary house of Longines for the famous Cuban house of Cuervo & Sobrinos. The watch is done with a unique process called Niello, a sulfide of metals and inlayed with solid rose gold as well. This process was used for many fine pieces done for the South American and Caribbean market and was seldom seen in Europe or the States. We have just serviced this fine and unique watch which means it will not need another service for many years to come. It also comes with a modern antique styled chain so you can wear it when it arrives. Impressively, this watch is also supplied with what is likely the original matching Niello, Rose Gold and Silver matching chain. We seldom see pocket watches of this quality with their original pocket watch chains. This is a truly unique package. You can actually wear this fine watch, every day and count on it to get you there on time, every time.

  • Longines Steel Art Deco Open Face Pocket Watch Original Dial, circa 1930s
    By Longines
    Located in Long Beach, CA
    FACTORY / HOUSE: Longines Watch Co. STYLE / REFERENCE: Art Deco METAL / MATERIAL: Stainless Steel CIRCA / YEAR: 1930's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Diameter 45mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 17 Jewels DIAL / HANDS: Flawless Original Two Tone Dial / Blued Steel Hands WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This is as fine a pocket watch as we have ever seen. The watch looks like if just came out of the factory. It is also supplied with an original vintage pocket watch chain so you wear it as soon as it arrives. The company was founded in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz, a Swiss watchmaker. He was also the brother of renowned biologist Louis Agassiz. Agassiz started the company with two partners, lawyers Henri Raiguel and Florian Morel. The company's original name was Raiguel Jeune & Cie. In 1846, Raigeul and Morel retired from the watch industry, leaving Agassiz as sole company head. Several years later, Agassiz brought in his bright, enterprising nephew, trained economist Ernest Francillon, into the business. Francillon was the mastermind behind several impressive innovations that would distinguish the company from its competitors. In 1880, Francillon trademarked the Longines name and its winged hourglass logo. The winged hourglass is a symbol of precision and timekeeping, and it has become one of the most recognizable logos in the watch industry. In 1912, Longines became the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games. The company has held this position ever since, and it has been involved in every Olympic Games since then. Longines has also been the official timekeeper of many other major sporting events, including the World Championships in Athletics, the Formula One World Championship, and the America's Cup. In 1931, Longines invented the Lindbergh Hour Angle watch...
