We have just finished giving it a factory quality service by our finest watchmaker. The watch is a classic Art Deco Design and it still has its original enamel inlay in the case. We seldom see this in a vintage watch that is this old, nearly 100 years old. Shortly after this watch was produced the "Great Depression" began and all the watch factories in the world were forced to reset their goals. STERN DIAL HOUSE The dial on this watch was produced by the Stern Freres Dial House in Geneva Switzerland. Stern was the largest and most renowned dial house in the world at the time. They made dials for Tiffany, Vacheron, Audemars, Marcus, Gubelin, Shreve and every other legendary watch and jewelry company in the world. In the early 1930's Patek Philippe filed for bankruptcy due to the worldwide depression and there was only one company in Switzerland that could save it and they did. The family of Stern bought Patek Philippe Watch Company and today The Henry Stern Agency owns still The Patek Philippe Watch Company. LONGINES HISTORY 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...
