Description
A rare and historically significant original set of Longines watchmaker manuals featuring both the No 10 and No 10.1 movement parts catalogs. These factory-issued documents were once essential tools for servicing two of Longines’ most iconic mid-century calibres, and today they offer exceptional value as both technical references and collectible horological artifacts.
The Longines No 10 manual is presented in its original three-ring binder, containing detailed exploded diagrams, authentic part numbers, and factory assembly notes. Originally distributed to dealers and service centers, this binder is in well-preserved condition, a rarity in itself given how often these were heavily used and discarded.
Accompanying it is the separate Longines No 10.1 parts manual, which expands on the original binder by providing full schematics and part lists for the follow-up calibre. While each manual holds standalone value, together they form a more complete service record for one of Longines’ foundational movement families.
This set is highly collectible for the following reasons:
*
Genuine Longines factory-issued materials-not reproductions
*
Professionally used, but well-preserved with minimal wear
*
Critical reference material for vintage watch restoration
*
Historically important for understanding Longines’ mid-century mechanical design
This is an ideal acquisition for the vintage watchmaker, collector, or anyone building a Longines archive.
