Longines pocket movement reborn as a pilot watch
This piece pairs a Longines 18.79 ABC pocket watch movement, dated circa 1927–1928, with a contemporary pilot-style wristwatch case. The movement, a manually wound 17-jewel calibre, is displayed through an exhibition back and set within a 44 mm steel case finished with a mineral crystal and calf leather strap. Serviced on 2026-06-03, the watch blends early 20th-century mechanical construction with modern design cues. It will suit collectors who appreciate historic movements presented in wearable, purpose-driven cases that highlight movement architecture and classical finishing.
