When a very popular watchmaker partners with a famous actress to launch a limited timepiece collection you get masterful and exquisite blended together. Welcome Swiss watchmaker Longines, and brand ambassador Kate Winslet as they collaborated for the launch of the Flagship Heritage on June 10, 2017 at the brand’s Paris boutique. Marking the start of the brand’s online auction as well, the occasion benefitted the Golden Hat Foundation, co-founded by the actress as well. The proceeds from three of these spectacular timepieces will directly benefit the foundation, which was established with the mission to change the way people with autism are viewed.

Longines has been a watch manufacturer for 180 years, and it released the Master Collection Retrograde as a way of commemorating everything it has accomplished over the last century or so. One of the things that was important to Longines is that it retain its spot in the marketplace that requires luxury watches but at economy prices. That is the area where the Master Collection Retrograde falls into. From the moment that you first see this watch, you can tell that there were concessions made on the design and the functionality to keep the price reasonable. But none of those concessions take away from the quality of the watch itself.

Today’s modern luxury watches are built on the same principles that were used more than 100 years ago. Watchmaking is a true craft, and the best luxury watches are works of art. The new offerings from Longines hope to remind watch enthusiasts of days gone by, and the Longines Telemeter & Tachymeter Chronograph Watches are two vintage style watches that are both affordable and attractive. These sport style watches draw from previous pieces offered by Longines, only with different dials. They’re well worth a closer look, particularly if you’ve never owned a Longines sport watch.

Longines is the famous Swiss watch company that has become known for major accomplishment such as creating the most precision timepieces in history, and little touches like having a winding mechanism that looks like a crown. When people see the Longines name on a watch, they know that they are getting the highest possible quality. It is hard to believe that it has been 180 years since Longines started making quality time pieces, and the company is releasing the Avigation Type A-7 watch to commemorate its 180^th anniversary. It is a timepiece that brings together everything that Longines has become famous for and some special surprises as well.
