Absolutely gorgeous. I sadly can’t help with identifying though.

Lovely, I hope you enjoy using it in good health for many decades to come.

This is great! I had never thought to come here for help with a pocketwatch of my own, but your thread has inspired me. Your Longines is incredible, and I hope you are able to update us with information about it. I would love to know when it was made. Absolutely incredible. Wear it in good health!

Looking up the serial number, its from 1916.

Kinda crazy to think that this was just a regular item. 50 years later “hey look at this old iPhone xr I got inherited”

Very nice. Chain is likely 14K as well. I have similar. Buy a display dome and hang the watch in it on your mantlepiece, if you are lucky enough to have one of those too!

What a beautiful watch you have, congratulations.
