Longines is a brand that needs no introduction. It was a staple of the Swiss watchmaking industry throughout the 20th century. They are well-known for their broad assortment of models and designs, as well as their masterful--and iconic--chronographs.
Today’s piece is a wonderful extension of their watchmaking prowess into the realm of delicate lady’s watches. A manually-wound modest piece with unimposing diamond setting on the case and bracelet integration, this watch captures the cocktail aesthetic of the 20th century.
One can easily imagine this piece on a wrist in Vegas, bearing an indescribable charm and appeal.
Longines has long been considered one of the most respected makers of reliable manually wound timepieces on the market. Watches like these give a look into the previous era’s approach to design and form. Watches are no longer made in this way, and this gives this watch a certain je ne sais quoi.
