Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph
Longines started manufacturing timing equipment in 1878 with the launch of a simple 20 ligne column-wheel chronograph, reference number 20H.

Longines Column-Wheel Single Push-Piece Chronograph Review
If a new mechanical chronograph is an exciting thing to see from a brand you like, a column-wheel mono-pusher is almost mind-blowing. A few weeks ago, Longines announced their dryly titled Column-Wheel Single Push-Piece Chronograph ref L2.800.4.53.0, and the mix of a cool movement and a sharp, early 20th-century aesthetic, made it really stand out. Part of their Heritage line, the new watch draws directly from what many might consider to be the "heyday" of Longines' own history; the 13ZN caliber chronographs for the late 30's – 40's.

While the standard Capeland chronograph is handsome enough, the Flyback Chronograph is a near-perfect marriage of retro design cues with modern size and build. The watch's beauty is more than skin deep however, with a beautifully decorated unique flyback chronograph movement by La Joux-Perret. The whole package is bewitch

How does this 111 look ?
Hi everyone, I recently picked up this 111 from Davinci watches. While they're not an AD the watch came complete with all boxes and papers. However, just for my peace of mind can those with more expertise take a look at it? I already called Panerai and they confirm the serial number. Thank you
