Not Your Usual Longines-Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch
First, forgive me if, in all my newbie-ness to this site, I posted this in the wrong place. I would appreciate any posting guidance that's out there. That being said, I have a very unusual Longines-Lindbergh Hour Angle watch. I say unusual because of the hundreds I've seen online, I haven't seen one exactly like the one I have. It belonged to my deceased husband's father who, I believe, purchased it somewhere in the late 30s or 40s. What makes it unusal is that, first, the case is not hinged. There is a small but weird looking contraption at the base of the case with some kind of spring/mechanical doohickey. Again, forgive my lack of technical terms.

A lady walking her dog finds a briefcase in a ditch and instead of throwing it into the nearest dumpster, she naturally calls the local PD (since we answer the phone). I get there and see this mess, briefcase in a million pieces, tons of rotten papers from the 60's, couple of pairs of eyeglasses, check stubs, and a vintage SS Timex. This briefcase had been in the mud and snow for God only knows how long. I take the mess back to the station and start to inventory it and try to find it's owner. Dispatch finds a relative in town. I pick up the manual wind Timex, it's all covered in mud and the band has fallen apart. Give her a full wind and she starts right up and keeps time for the rest of the night!!!!. Hope the relative doesn't throw it in the dumpster but cleans it up and gives it to a family member!!!

INCOMING....ok...not really, it's already here !
This one took some doing, and some parting with two really nice pieces...but I just had to :
