圖錄文章
The Italian term ‘spillo’, or ‘pin’ in English, was bestowed on this rarely seen and highly desirable chronograph wristwatch reference 6592-4 with multi-scale dial. The nickname refers to the small size and shape of its pushers, and although foreign to some, the term is immediately recognizable in the horological community.

The present watch is fitted with Longines’ in-house caliber 30CH and reached its final destination via the North American agent, due to the “LXW” import stamp on the movement.

Preserved in impressive and absolutely excellent overall original condition, the untouched silvered dial features a black colored tachometer scale and blue colored telemeter scale along the outer circumference, further enhancing the beauty and desirability of this example. It should come as no surprise that this watch has been chosen by John Goldberger, legendary author and one of the world’s most renowned scholars, for his book Longines Watches.

The present watch furthermore has sterling provenance, having been sold at the milestone auction, Start Stop Reset 88 Epic Stainless Steel Chronographs, on Geneva May 14, 2016.

Longines

Swiss | 1832
Auguste Agassiz founded Longines in 1832, and today is considered to be a pioneer in the evolution of the chronograph. During the 1930s, Longines' chronograph wristwatches were used as tools for wartime aviators and military personnel. As one of Switzerland's largest manufacturers, Longines was an important supplier of wristwatches to militaries of multiple nations.

Today, they are owned by the Swatch Group and produce wristwatches for both men and women. Their vintage wristwatches continue to grow in desirability amongst collectors. Some of the most sought-after models include such oversized chronographs as the Lindbergh Hour Angle designed by Charles Lindbergh, Chronostop, Tre Tacche, A-7, Tasti a Spillo and Doppia Lanchetta.
