Pocket watch/wristwatch: rare chronograph set with nonius hands, Longines "Honour and Glory" 1968/1999, limited to 600 pieces
1. Pocket watch, split-seconds chronograph, Ø62mm, steel, case and movement with matching number 14189199, precision calibre, measuring accuracy 1/10th of a second, in excellent condition, in working order. 2. Wristwatch, chronograph, Ø42mm, steel, movement number 29515253, automatic movement calibre L674.8, measuring accuracy 1/10th of a second, in excellent condition, in working order. The set was put together to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the Longines company in 1999 and issued as a limited special edition of only 600 pieces with original box, warranty, booklet, book to the watch, two instruction manuals and original invoice. To honour the company's 120 years of experience in sports timekeeping in an exceptional way, Longines produced the "Honour and Glory" set in a limited edition of 600 pieces in 1999. The commemorative set includes a pocket watch chronograph from 1968, Reference L7.886.4.73.0, and a specially designed automatic steel chronograph with leather strap, Reference L.7885.4.73.2. The pocket watch is a rare split-seconds constant-force chronograph with nonius hands and equipped with movement calibre L262. This pocket watch chronograph has been used by Longines at major world sporting events since 1968, such as the Grenoble Winter Olympics. Longines describes the calibre 262 as the most accurate movement ever made by Longines. The nonius hand is a Longines patent and can only be found on this watch. The wrist chronograph was specially developed for this set and was therefore only available in this combination. It also has a nonius hand. Inside is the automatic calibre L674.8, which is visible through the glassed back.
