Great product on the wrist
High-end watches are always an opportunity for designers to show their talents, intellect and ingenuity. And this Master almost meets the essence of Longines watchmaking industry. A watch with elegant, elegant design but with enough power to show a multitude of complex features. All in one compact design, extremely suitable for Asians
Clock must be a time measurement tool
When it comes to Longines, we often think of simple watches, not even using a second hand, to create a gentle, luxurious design. On the contrary, for this Master, Longines’ design masters do not want to emphasize simplicity and want to show everything that a mechanical machine can do on the wrist, it must be the ability to measure time.
L2.673.4.78.6 is a Chronograph (sports timer feature), but also a Multi Calendar with many separate calendar functions, and even more, the Moon Phase feature, not only Very complex and also creates accents designed for watch faces.
Looking closely, in addition to the traditional hour needles and minute needles of the Master series in the center of the dial, there is also a Chronograph needle, for the second indicator of the timer feature (the seconds hand are teleport to 9 o’clock angle with 24h clock indicating day-night). Needles indicates the number of minutes and hours of the Chronograph clock that are symmetrically positioned at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock. We can control this feature with 2 extra buttons next to the right like other regular chronographs. Kim indicates the number of minutes and hours of the Chronograph clock that are symmetrically positioned at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock. While the middle button keeps the role of adjusting the display time and adjusting for the clock. The area of the clock face is small, so Longines cleverly pulled the Chapter Ring to a corner of about 45 degrees, ensuring that observing the timer feature was easy and did not affect the overall design. This design will also facilitate other features to be expressed scientifically and more beautifully.
The first is the calendar feature with the needle in the center position with a semicircle needle. This needle will embrace the fraction that represents the day of the month running around the clock face. This design helps Longines not have to use the calendar window at the 3 o’clock corner as the usual design, which will be reserved for its winged logo.
But the most unique, most eye-catching feature of this Master must be the moon phase, also known as the Moon Phase, which is set at 6 o’clock. On wristwatches, MoonPhase is a complex feature, denoting the moon’s roundness and defects for 1 month, the cycle which is chosen by the Eastern people as a way to calculate the moon schedule. This feature became a highlight both in terms of technique and design, exuding the beauty inside of a watch and it was even more special when lying on a mechanical watch.
To get a great product with such complex features but still compact in a formal, delicate design, Longines had to use the Automatic machine from the expert of manufacturing Chronograph – Valjoux. This is the world’s most famous chronograph manufacturer, a subsidiary of ETA, anem who specializes in manufacturing watches from Longines in the Swatch group. Thanks to this advantage and Longines easily put a Valjoux machine that has excellent quality on its Master with tweaks to create a great watch model, a technical monument of Longines.
Elegant, luxurious beauty
The Master line is always the pride of Longines, with a distinctive design aimed at business people, successful people with a passion for watches. Arab pile number type is not a priority for new players, but it is used on this product. Must be people who love watches, understand the beauty of this Arab style completely different from the designs on the regular sports watches have the courage to choose it. With L2.673.4.78.6 in hand, you are having a symbol of success as well as a hundred-year tradition of Swiss watch industry. For me personally, it is really a great honor.
This watch is suitable for those who want to mark an important milestone in their life and career. If you are at such a time, choose this Master and I am sure that many years later you will still love it.
