In our opinion, Longines doesn't quite get the respect that they deserve.
That is not to say that they aren't held in high regard. But the level of innovation, craftsmanship, and design that Longines has demonstrated over the course of their history simply cannot be understated, and certainly extends to a wide variety of timepieces across the board.
We believe this to be the case not only for vintage pieces, but for contemporary watches as well.
Take this limited edition designed in collaboration with HODINKEE from this past year for example... It features a perfectly sized 38.5mm case, a multi-toned silver sector dial with a blued-steel handset, subsidiary seconds at the 6:00 position, a comfortable and stylish beads-of-rice bracelet with a signed clasp, and Longines' Calibre 893.4 automatic winding movement within.
Limited to just 500 pieces worldwide, this is a great opportunity to scoop up a complete package of one of the best Longines designs to come out in years!
In terms of elegant design and horological prowess, this watch packs an awful lot of bang for the buck!
