  It’s astonishing to think this watch was already 90 years old when Rolex was a 'spotty teenager.' That 11.84N movement is a work of art—did those individual train cocks surprise you as much as they did me? Let me know your favorite era of Longines in the comments! 👇

  &quot;Even good old Albert Einstein had a couple of Longines himself back then, even though time was relative.&quot;<br>This is the content we come here for! Bravo.

  “Service marks from legends of the past” .. Beautiful how you admire and honor those long forgotten craftsmen, elevating them to the status of heroes.

  &apos;Even though time was relative&apos;...<br><br>The commentary itself is enough to watch the entire video.

  The fact your ego is so in check that you don’t bother to include your mark inside the watch is awe inspiring. I can’t thank you enough for these videos. Many blessings on you.

  I know almost nothing about watches but I was mesmerized by this man&apos;s gigantic expertise, his humility, and his humanity. He is a lesson for us all.

  One more reason to be thankful for the internet and YouTube &nbsp;and for all the generous people who share their experience with us.

  Always incredible how something purely mechanical with little or no waterproofing can sit for half a century, and not only still work, but have almost no damage or corrosion. ❤

  The understatement of this Longines is incredibly charming.
