Longines Ernest Francillon 1867 Owner Review : Chic, elegant and refined

This dress watch is a chronograph with a date window at 3 o'clock. The pretty metallic blue dauphine hands contrast with the white guilloche dial. The applied indexes as well as the 4 Arabic numerals 2, 4, 8 and 10 reinforce its elegant character. The reo with a tachymeter scale also brings a beautiful depth. The case has very beautiful proportions with these old-fashioned horns affixed to the pretty 38mm diameter of the dial. We can also note the work on the crown and the pushers. The engraving on the back is very fine, perhaps too superficial. It is a really very chic wristwatch that makes me travel. Indeed, on my wrist, I see myself on the terrace of a café in Venice with a beautiful Italian shirt and a risretto in my hand. Extremely elegant and readable despite all its complications, this little Longines really has the chic to make our Italian class grow.
