Authentically Styled, Function-Oriented Analog Quartz

LONGINES is a prestigious Swiss watchmaker, renowned for its tradition and elegance.

The brand's strength lies in its close relationship with ETA, the largest movement supplier in Switzerland. Through this collaboration, Longines maintains a movement development capability akin to that of a manufacture.

Longines' ability to deliver high-quality Swiss watchmaking to as many wrists as possible worldwide is now unstoppable. In fact, at BASELWORLD 2017, amidst a challenging industry climate, only a handful of brands, led by Longines, unveiled completely original new calibers.

The new "Conquest V.H.P.", which Longines has already begun delivering, is a remarkable achievement, boasting the highest accuracy in watchmaking history.

An annual accuracy of ±5 seconds. Compared to the typical ±20 seconds per month for standard quartz, the "Conquest V.H.P." caliber offers significantly higher precision. This is due to a built-in device that detects temperature variations affecting quartz and calculates corrections.

Additionally, this caliber features a GPD (Gear Position Detection) system that automatically resets the hands if it detects shocks or exposure to magnetism. Even without such influences, it performs automatic corrections every night at 3 AM. If the hands stop due to a low battery, it retains accurate time information for up to six months and can reset the hands correctly upon power restoration. It also boasts a long-life battery and a perpetual calendar that accounts for leap years, offering exceptional usability.

For simply knowing the accurate time, one could rely on standard radio waves, GPS signals, or network synchronization. Developing a smartwatch would likely be effortless for Longines. However, their decision to pursue accuracy by evolving quartz movements stems from a specific reason.

The pride of a traditional, mainstream Swiss watchmaker.

Longines embraces its responsibility as a watchmaker and pursues the romance of creating a timepiece that can accurately keep time independently, without relying on external services like networks or radio signals.

Beneath an exceptionally authentic design that conceals a passionate spirit, lies a cool, restrained elegance.
