What is also interesting is that this man associated with Mr.Lindbergh was wearing a Longines in the 1940s that WAS NOT an Hour Angle."What is an hour angle" you ask? Well clearly you haven't done your Hodinkee homework, because Replica Zenith watches we covered that a few months back.The Hour Angle is a watch that Longines released that was designed by Charles A.Lindbergh himself (read about it here).This is a very cool, very rare watch both from a mechanical standpoint and a historical view, and the $28,000 pricetag is justifiable.
Click here for more details on this vintage Longines Replica Cartier watches Chronograph owned by one of the original designers of the Spirit of St.Louis.We aren't done yet.When we came across this watch online, bells went off.we had seen this watch and heard this story before."Where was that?" We thought.and then we remembered.Our good friend Charles at Antiquorum had told us this exact story just last month! This watch was on the block in Antiquorum's March 4-5 auction, and that is where this seller must have acquired it.You can even still see the preview here.
Now the final selling price isn't listed there, and is conspicuously absent from even the hammer sheet, so we can't say what it sold for.Perhaps, this Replica Omega watches vendor did not buy this watch at auction and instead tried to sell it via Antiquorum and the reserve was not met, then placing it online.Either way, it is interesting to see such a rare watch two appearances in our lives, just goes to show how small of a world the watch game is!
