The Longines Master Collection

Longines reaffirms its watchmaking expertise with the addition of new creations that strengthen one of its flagship lines, The Longines Master Collection. Powered by a new self-winding movement (Calibre L899 / ETA A31.L91) developed exclusively for Longines, these timekeepers are characterized by a moon phase indicator and a refined aesthetic, creating a balance between technical excellence and classic elegance.

The Longines 1832

The latest addition to the 1832 collection is a moon phase display. The watch is powered by the same movement as mentioned above.

Longines HydroConquest

A new all-black ceramic version of the HydroConquest timepiece is now available. Inside its 43 mm case, this three-hand and a calendar watch features a self-winding mechanical movement (L888.3) developed exclusively for Longines.

The Longines Master Collection Annual Calendar

This spectacular watch is now being delivered to the markets. It was delayed for almost one year. Longines was not 100 % satisfied with the overall quality of the new movement and postponed the launch.

The Longines Heritage Classic

A contemporary 38.50 mm replica of a watch taken from the Longines heritage, that can also be seen in the incredible brands museum in St. Imier at the Longines headquarters. Longines revisits a model typical of the 1930s – characterised by the aesthetic of its sector dial – to bring forth The Longines Heritage Classic. The long and rich history of Longines is written into each of the brand’s designs. Each piece produced over the years is part of the Swiss watchmaking identity, a historical legacy that Longines has always strived to preserve and highlight. That is why it regularly draws on this patrimony to inspire its Heritage line. The watch is sold for only 2000 CHF including VAT!

[h=1]Longines Master Collection Moonphase Watch At The 2019 Breeder’s Cup Horse Races[/h] NOV 06, 2019 — BY ARIEL ADAMS

For years now, as the brand that the Swatch Group has designated to embody “elegance,” historic timepiece maker Longines has been thoroughly involved in the world of equestrian sports. It sponsors important equestrian performances around the world, including the world-famous Kentucky Derby, as well as the highly prestigious Breeder’s Cup. For 2019, the official wristwatch of the Breeder’s Cup is the Longines Master Collection Moonphase — a new collection (with a healthy level of diversity) for 2019 that has something for everyone (assuming you are a moonphase complication lover).

Longines invited aBlogtoWatch to join them at the Breeder’s Cup, once again — this time here in Southern California at the famed Santa Anita Park track. The lovely hills and pastel skies of late fall made a gorgeous backdrop for the entirely filled stadium where horse-racing fans from around the United States came to cheer on their favorite horses and racing teams.

Legacy tradition and the passion of horse owners is what keeps most equestrian events alive and thriving in the United States. I think what is important to point out about them is that these events do not survive through sponsorships and commercial relationships, as more mainstream sporting events may. Instead, it is the fans and people participating in horse-racing and other equestrian events that keeps the pursuit alive and well.

What most people do not realize about horse races, unless they have attended one themselves, is what the mood and atmosphere are like. Consider for a second that betting (which is extremely nuanced and complex) on horse-racing is still extremely popular, as is dressing up in one’s best horse-racing attire. Women famously don fascinators (those hat-style head decorations), and the event includes a fashion show (appropriately named the Longines Elegance Prize). Drinking is encouraged and celebrated, while, for the horse team winners, there is much to be gained from the victory.
