We have been exploring Heritage that represents Longines’ famous product lines such as Flagship, Military. As Préscene, the line of products that emphasizes elegance is already the flow of blood through Longines. For centuries, being the embodiment of the serene and delicate body like the wings of the sky. Longines’ Heritage version is even more meaningful. Longines’ wings take us back to Switzerland 400 years ago, where the watch industry has just begun in this small country.
Switzerland is not the first country to invent a watch, but it is a cradle to nurture love and passion. We know that love is infinite in this world, eternal, and more powerful than anything. Since then, the watchmaking industry has grown up, and in it, the indispensable engineers, genius designers have put the first bricks to build a legend – the legend of the Swiss Clock. A prominent figure among them is Abraham Louis Breguet – Mechanical master and clock designer. His name is associated with the title “Grandfather of the watch industry” or “Inventor of the legendary Tourbillon mechanism.” But little is known that Breguet is also known for its very own designs, over time becoming merit. That is the needle and pile design characteristic of Breguet.
This Longines Heritage gives us nostalgia for that period and extends the circuit to 400 years later. Four centuries with many ups and downs and memories. The goose-eyed needle set, known as the Pomme, shaped like an arrow piercing the apple, is one of the unique watchmaking designs that has become a symbol associated with Breguet and is honored as a peak High of the Swiss watch industry. So is the pile. For those new to the watch, it is not common to love Arab numbers if you choose a luxurious Dress Watch, but no, the Arab number on this Heritage is not as simple. It is not a modern digital style that is featured on sports watches or military suits. It is a soft, meandering Arab number, like calligraphy written from the 17th-century quill. If you look closely at the clock’s face, the handwriting emerges as ink, yet it gives a vivid feeling.
Like it was written recently. Looking here, I feel that I am no longer in the twenty-first century but lost in classical Europe. The Chapter Ring and small second-hand design are also nostalgic details in old watches. It was all on a background of time-tasting – an old color that was thoughtful and full of nostalgia. That was only 400 years ago; almost half a millennium passed. Those brands, who are geniuses, now have lost. The eternal person becomes a monument, the person who is forever a shadow in the past. Everything is here; on this watch, space and time are like condensation.
All are perfect for those who want to choose for themselves a watch full of historical values. And when it comes to meaning, the Longines also has a precious metal shell – an 18K solid gold rose – a typical gold material in watchmaking. The frame embraced nostalgia and memories with the Automatic machine inside. The back is a transparent glass through which we can observe every beat, every breath of time, along with a yellow-pink flywheel with a shell that creates a great harmony. Combined with that is a high-class crocodile leather cord, giving an extremely comfortable feeling and durability superior to normal cowhide. The message of time and sharp perfection, high-end materials, luxury is all that creates a fascinating masterpiece of any successful gentleman or those who have spent a portion of their heavenly love with the Swiss watch.
