Extremely rare Longines-Wittnauer “Black Forest” advertising display or retailers made in the 1940´s. The Display shows a typical colorful house from the Black Forest (Germany) with balcony, a great window in the middle and a “Kuckucksuhr” on the front top. The display is electric, so the window in the middle of the house opens (and closes) and reveals a doll with blond long hair, reminding of a beautiful “Deutsches Fräullein”. On the closed window one can read “”Everyone longs to own a truly fine watch //
The finest watch to give is Longines //
I love you // I love Longines.””. The text on the top of house says: “”The Gift of Treasured Memories.”
The automaton has a 110 Volt 60 Hertz cable,
but can easily be plugged into a 10/220 V adapter.
Absolute museum piece.
