I’ve spent days now, looking at seemingly endless images of vintage Longines and Bulova watches. Sometimes I think I’ve struck gold, only to spot a tiny difference between what’s on my computer screen and what’s here in my hands.
The latter is a vintage Longines watch attached to the strap of a slightly newer Bulova Accutron. The Longines strap and Bulova case are missing, but seeing these two watches blended together only adds to the intrigue. Did my grandfather do this, potentially sometime in the 1970s, because he liked the look? Or perhaps this was a temporary substitution while the opposing case or strap had been sent away for servicing?
