A Very Collectable Serge Manzon for Longines Stirrup Watch in Solid Silver with Original Strap and Box - a Stunning Watch - c.1972

In the early 1970s, Longines partnered with French designer Serge Manzon, celebrated for his bold, sculptural style. The collaboration produced a series of striking watches in sterling silver, launched in 1973, which challenged traditional watch aesthetics. With sharp lines, dramatic curves, and a distinctly avant-garde feel, Manzon’s creations stood apart from Longines’ more classic output. Today, these rare pieces are admired for their daring design language and their unique place in Longines’ rich history.

What's on Offer

Out of the 20 or so Longines watches born from the Serge Manzon collaboration, this is without doubt one of the most exciting and desirable. The bold stirrup-shaped case, crafted from solid silver, frames an elliptical chocolate dial with delicate cross-hair detail, creating a look that’s as sculptural as it is stylish. This watch has real presence on the wrist – meaty, unique, and utterly unforgettable. Even better, it comes with its original Longines chocolate strap and, almost unbelievably, its original box. This watch benefits from recently having a spa polish to bring the case back to its former beauty and it really does look stunning! 

Rare, daring, and unmistakably Manzon – this is not a watch for the shy, but for those who love a true conversation piece.
