In this episode, we tackle a true piece of history: a 100-year-old Longines cushion case watch in sterling silver. Dating back to 1922, this watch houses the rare caliber 11.84N movement, featuring incredible "individual train cocks" instead of a single bridge. Watch as we navigate a century of tarnish, a "bread knife" crystal mystery, and a movement that hasn't been serviced in 40 years.
In this video:
