Ralph RehnerSonora Beehive
My love and expertise revolves around Longines. Recent enlightenment and encouragement from members Tom Seymour and Jim Cope, sent this "Clock Pup" on a hunt that I will never forget. I have done the restoration and am proud to own a, "Sonora Beehive",same case style as the #64, but on rods not bells, sounds great.
Thankyou gentlemen
Ralph

Rich KuhnRalph,
I had the priviledge of seeing the before, during and completed case restoration. You did a marvelous job! I am particularly impressed with the dial. I think the clock is simply out of this world.
