Authentic Longines 1977 Limited-Edition 165th Anniversary Lapel Pin – Rare Horological Collector’s Piece

An authentic Longines commemorative lapel pin issued in 1977, created exclusively to celebrate the 165th Anniversary of the Maison (1832–1977). Far more than a promotional accessory, this is a true piece of horological ephemera linked to a documented milestone in the history of one of Switzerland’s most prestigious watchmakers.

Executed in hard-fired enamel and gilt metal, the medallion displays the legendary Winged Hourglass emblem, widely regarded as one of the most enduring symbols in Swiss watchmaking. The crisp enamel work, sharp relief detailing, and preserved gilt finish reflect the high manufacturing standards traditionally associated with commemorative pieces produced for special anniversaries.

From a collector’s standpoint, dated anniversary issues occupy a particularly desirable niche within the market for vintage watch memorabilia. Unlike modern merchandise, these pieces were produced for a finite event and possess a fixed historical provenance. The combination of a 1977 issue date, Longines heritage, and 165th-anniversary significance elevates this pin beyond a fashion accessory into a genuine collector’s object.
