About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Longines Watch Company for Ryrie Bros STYLE / REFERENCE: Trench Watch / Campaign Style METAL / MATERIAL: Sterling Silver CIRCA / YEAR: 1906 DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 37mm X Diameter 33mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 17 Jewels / Caliber DIAL / HANDS: Original Kiln Fired Enamel with Breguet Style Numerals / Blued Steel Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Leather, 16mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This is one of the earliest Trench Style watches we have ever seen. The Ryrie Brothers store in Toronto Canada dates to 1879 and there is a lot of history behind the renowned house. Eventually they "merged" or were absorbed by Canada's, "Cartier,: which was the house of Henry Birks and Sons. Birks is still around today. We have just given this watch a factory quality service by our finest watchmaker and it runs well. The Kiln fired enamel dial is in flawless condition and the Blued Steel Hands are original as well. This is a great piece of history in such a condition that it can be worn all the time and counted as well to get you there on time. We have never seen this watch by this old legendary company and if you are from Canada, this might be something exciting to own and to wear.

Longines Silver Half Hunter Trench Watch with Original Kiln Fired Dial 1925
By Longines
Located in Long Beach, CA
FACTORY / HOUSE: Longines Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Trench Style / Military METAL / MATERIAL: Sterling Silver CIRCA / YEAR: 1925 DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 49mm X Diameter 36mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 15 Jewels / Caliber DIAL / HANDS: Kiln Fired Enamel with Breguet Style Arabic Numerals / Blued Steel Breguet Style Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Leather, 18mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This is one of the finest example of a "trench" watch we have ever had. The watch is entirely hand made. The case cover is done in classic Breguet Engine Turning, with a "Half Hunter" cover and Kiln Fired Blue Enamel with Roman Numerals. The Roman Numerals are balanced out against the Breguet Arabic Numeral Dial. The movement is hand made by Longines and very high grade. We have just serviced this fine watch and it keeps dependable time and can be worn all the time and counted on to get you there on time as well. Longines 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...
