The Longines Record Heritage continues the celebrations

And once again, it reaffirms Longines’ excellent ability to look into its archives and select some very fine watches as inspiration for its present-day portfolio!Auguste Agassiz founded Longines in 1832, which is no surprise for those who already did the maths based on the 190th anniversary mentioned in the intro.

After the Dragon, it will soon be time to celebrate another important animal of the Chinese Zodiac, the snake, an animal associated with wisdom, charm and transformation.

Fashioned out of micro-blasted and polished ceramic, it is fully rendered in black with the exception of an impressively detailed, gold-plated miniature snake coiling around the counters of its sapphire dial. The openworked hands and markers are finished in matching golden colour, and the Hublot logo is featured on the crystal. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
