The Longines Master Collection 190th Anniversary
Fernando AldeaWithout a doubt, Longines is a watchmaking house steeped in tradition. A long, continuous, and rich history inexorably stems from it. A 190-year history that has taken the brand to the pinnacle of watchmaking, and which today is reflected in a series of three exclusive watches within THE LONGINES MASTER COLLECTION line, a worthy heir to the house's tradition.
Mastery of timekeeping: over the years and through its various transformations, the brand with the winged hourglass has always strived to combine its quest for precision with aesthetic excellence. This is the foundation upon which the identity of its production still rests today. A centuries-old expertise forged in tradition, elegance, and performance has elevated the brand to the Olympus of great watchmakers.
Thus, the history of Longines is peppered with technical and aesthetic innovation, in keeping with the aspirations of the brand's founders: daring to be avant-garde, achieving excellence, making innovation a constant pursuit. These aspirations remain intact and shape the company's heritage today.
To celebrate its 190th anniversary, Longines is presenting a series of three exclusive timepieces as part of The Longines Master Collection , a line that has become emblematic of the brand's rich heritage. Combining classic elegance and excellence, these timepieces are crafted from the finest materials: stainless steel and gold. The 18-carat yellow gold and rose gold versions are limited editions numbered to 190 pieces, highlighting their exclusivity.
These new watches stand out aesthetically thanks to their meticulous workmanship and the special attention paid to every detail. The grained anthracite, satin-gray, or sand-blasted silver dials are distinguished by their unique finishes and the delicacy of their engraved Arabic numerals. The hours, minutes, and seconds are guided by elegant rose, gold, or blued-steel hands, accentuating the dials' refined elegance.
The 40 mm case, with its classic round lines, houses an exclusive Longines caliber, featuring a silicon balance spring and offering great precision. The meticulous workmanship of this caliber can be admired through the transparent caseback, decorated with a commemorative engraving. The anthracite gray leather strap, with a very soft feel, completes this high-end design.
Worthy heirs to the brand's centuries-old tradition, these exceptional pieces encapsulate Longines' rich history.
