What makes this timepiece exceptional
This quintessential elegant watch is in an exceptional condition, especially given its year of production: 1935. The rectangular shape of the case echoes its sublime movement, which is also rectangular in shape. While shaped movements have become an exception rather than the norm nowadays (rectangular watch dials tend to feature round mechanical movements or battery-operated quartz movements), this is not the case with this model, which is powered by an original mechanical shaped movement manufactured by Longines.
