For sale today is an incredible conversion watch, also known as a "marriage watch". This means that the movement and dial originally came from a pocket watch, and were placed inside a wristwatch case. This is a Tiffany & Co. brand watch with a high-grade movement by Longines. Dial is sterling silver, with gold furniture. The beautiful and unusual hands are original to the watch. The original pocket watch was manufactured in 1919. Pics: https://imgur.com/a/ONwciuh Timestamp: https://imgur.com/a/r5WJMwP 40mm stainless steel case with 22mm lugs, set on a black two piece leather strap. Both the case and band are brand new, never worn, and in mint condition. The total watch thickness is only 9mm. A really nice size for an average man's wrist. Exhibition back to showcase the movement. Powered by a Swiss made Longines in-house 17.89M caliber movement, made for Tiffany & Co. In this case the "M" indicates that this is the thinner version of the movement, with the 17.89 version being slightly thicker. This is a 21-ruby movement with 5 adjustments. Very fancy! It also has a "snail" regulator, which is similar to the regulator of a Patek Philippe movement. This particular movement is very unusual in that it has a jeweled mainspring barrel. I have seen other examples of this caliber, and they didn't have this feature. In fact, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a jeweled mainspring barrel before this. A very luxurious feature! I believe this is the highest grade of movement made by Longines at the time. For more information on Longines 17.89M movements, please see the link below: http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&Longines_17_89M Regular push/pull crown at the 12 O'Clock position. Crown is handmade, and easy to use. This conversion watch was made by my friend Lothar . He's an older German guy with incredible watchmaking skills, but zero internet skills. As a result, I have so far been the only person to offer his works for sale online. I have sold several of his pieces here on Reddit. See my post history for details. What a gorgeous and absolutely unique timepiece! Asking $775 USD OBO including shipping within North America. Great international rates available too.
