Horological Meandering

There is a life outside the modern Chronograph and a marvelous one. Look at this one, which is a long and strong love affair, for me. Longines 30 CH ref 7413-3 from the mid 60's. A legend, this movement, in the world of fine chronographs. Best, Nicolas ...  

but please consider this fresh notes from my red notebook further to a long talk with Bernard Portal at last month wonderfull Longines' collector GTG in St-Imier and Geneva Cost is to be understood as production cost. This applies mostly to the movement. ...  

i won't elaborate. as i think there is little interest for this kind of discussion here. Great watch! Bravo!

No message body

Of course the movement is iconic (and your example so clean). But the overall presentation—modest case, nicely sloping lugs, and prominent telemetre scale! (which provides the only practical complication such a watch will ever be used for)—is just SO GOOD... 

so many iterations to chase of the 13zn and 30ch. I like it more with the dark strap in this case. Very nice watch. Dirk

What first comes to my mind is that there were times not too long ago when watches were made to measure time, not to impress others. Perfect beauty, now and in 100 years. Enjoy it, Nico.

This is so beautiful!!! May I ask you what's the watch size? This is so desirable!!! Look at the dial...WOW.

Enjoy this wonderful piece

that is a magnificent piece, my friend. what's not to love cheers
