heavy longines anchor movement circa 1900 with rare dial signature

Longines delivered the pocket watch in 1900 to William Leuchars, British designer and London court supplier of exclusive arts and crafts (including jewelry containers), for his Paris branch (2, Rue de la Paix), which opened in 1870. The company name of the Paris branch is identical to the dial signature: Leuchars & Son, Geffroy Succ. William Leuchars was awarded a gold medal for his craftsmanship at the Paris World's Fair in 1878, having already received numerous awards for his services in England. Fine pocket watches extended Leuchars' exclusive range and were extremely popular with the well-heeled Parisian clientele at the turn of the century.
