1924 Longines 18.90M calibre (Pocket watch movement) 39+ mm diameter

NB! The M in 18.90M stand for Mince or thin movement, so makes for a rather slim watch

 

Original dial and hands, Dial is golden (metal dial) and not yellow

 

 

Example of pocket watch with this movement and dial (not the one used here):

 

 

 

 

44mm without crown in size so perfect for me!!!

 

 

My watch was recased to make wrist watch by astonjenks.

 

Warning!!! Such a converted watch is not for everyday use or for chopping wood as the shock absorbation is lacking on these old pocket watch movements. NB! As a general rule a pocket watch movement should stay in the pocket watch...its actually a crime to convert it if the original pocket watch can be restored or is a family heirloom.

Lovely Gran and great work on the case AJ. Love that bridge over the mainspring barrel. If I was running Longines I would find a way to work that into my modern movements.
