Longines: Modern Luxury with Undeniable History
Listen now
Description
Longines boast the oldest active trademark in the world, amongst other things. We start with their humble beginnings in 1832 to their breakthrough horological innovations including the world's first GMT watch developed for the Ottoman Empire in 1908, and their expansive history in sports timekeeping. Of course, we dive into their current collection and latest releases including the famous Spirit Zulu Time GMT and HydroConquest dive watch, in addition to several others. We wrap up by giving our thoughts on what stands them apart in the market today and asking, "Are Longines still providing good value?"
