The manufacture takes its name from the \u003cem\u003eLes Longines\u003c\/em\u003e site, where Ernest Francillon brought his production under one roof in 1867; it was there that the winged hourglass appeared, registered in 1889 and today the oldest watchmaking trademark still in use. Longines built its reputation on precision: observatory chronometry, navigation and aviation instruments, sports timekeeping. In the 1940s that same exactingness carried into its dress watches — shaped cases with clean lines, carefully finished dials, small manual movements — of which this gold cushion case is an example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9-carat gold of the case — a fineness particular to the British market — ties this example to Longines' output destined for England, confirmed by the commemorative dedication engraved on the caseback, addressed to D.A. Dunlop and located in Southport, England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServiced. Very good condition, with normal age-related patina and wear.
