Longines Art Deco Sub Second 18k Rose 1940s

This exquisite 1940s Longines timepiece is a true testament to the timeless sophistication of Art Deco design. Housed in a 18k rose gold case, this vintage treasure showcases the precision and craftsmanship that defined Longines during the golden age of Swiss watchmaking.

The watch features a subtle, refined sub-second dial at 6 o’clock — a hallmark of the period — offering both charm and functionality. Its geometric lines, clean numerals, and minimalist aesthetic evoke the sleek glamour of the Art Deco movement, while the warm rose gold case adds a modern richness that has aged beautifully with time.

Powered by a hand-wound mechanical movement, this watch is not only a collector’s piece but a fully functional work of horological art.
