Longines rectangular steel NOS

Longines was founded in Saint-Imier in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz, a Swiss watchmaker and brother of biologist Louis Agassiz. Auguste had two partners, lawyers Henri Raiguel and Florian Morel; the company's original name was Raiguel Jeune & Cie. By 1846, Raigeul and Morel had retired from the watch industry, leaving Agassiz as sole company head. This "cioccolatino" is a new old stock, white gold-plated, hand-wound movement. The typical rectangular shape gives this timepiece a class and elegance that hardly goes unnoticed. Finding these watches, NOS, is always a unique thrill. Like stepping into the past with a time machine and walking out of the boutique with a masterpiece
