Hi Katherine -- I had been told it was around 100 years old when I bought it, but it's hard to tell exactly. On the inside of the back are quite a few engravings of medallions, apparently prizes Longines had won at various international expositions. The latest one is from Milan in 1906, so my guess is the watch was made not much after that. Helen

Interesting photo - I like the whole-watch photo, too. How old is it?
