Watchmaking tradition
Born of the grand tradition of watchmaking, Longines is steeped in history. A history marked by technical and aesthetic innovations in line with the founders’ ambitions: capture the spirit of the time, be at the cutting edge without being defined by the vagaries of fashion, and achieve excellence without abandoning simplicity. These aspirations are still intact today and can be seen in the various collections of the “Watchmaking Tradition” segment.
LONGINES MASTER COLLECTION
The Longines Master Collection embodies the pinnacle of horological craftsmanship and timeless elegance. This emblematic line comprises an array of meticulously crafted models, each exemplifying Longines’ unwavering commitment to enduring style and technical excellence. From the classic simplicity of the dial to the intricate mechanical movements within, every element exudes a sense of quiet luxury. Whether adorned with intricate complications or boasting a clean, elegant design, these timepieces bear witness to Longines’ storied heritage and expertise in watchmaking.
RECORD COLLECTION
In Longines’ purest watchmaking tradition, the Record automatic models combine classic elegance and excellence, aspiring to become the spearheads of the brand. And there is no shortage of arguments for these exceptional timepieces, whose movement includes a single-crystal silicon balance spring with unique properties.
HERITAGE CLASSIC
The elegance and simplicity of the Flagship Heritage models have made this Longines collection a timeless classic. These watches combine technical expertise, aesthetics and a tribute to the historic Flagship models. An emblematic line for the brand since the late 1950s, Flagship was one of Longines’ very first collections. The “flagship” flies the flag of the fleet’s Commander-in-Chief. The emblem of the collection, a hand-painted enamel caravel on an 18-carat gold medallion, is revealed on the screw-down case back.
FLAGSHIP
The launch of the first Flagship by Longines in 1957 was met with resounding success. Today, this timeless collection can still be found in the brand's range of products in a reworked form. Each fitted with a self-winding calibre, these models will enchant lovers of classic, robust watches. A wide range of dials and a selection of sizes mean that everyone can find the watch that suits him or her.
