Longines is celebrating 190 years of watchmaking with a selection of very nice watches. First and foremost, we had the return of the Longines UltraChron, an iconic high-frequency watch. Then shortly after the summer, the refined Longines Master Collection 190th Anniversary was launched.

Read on for a closer look at this handsome timepiece.When it comes to finding a really nice dress watch, often the challenge is the dimensions. There is no shortage of attractive dials but sometimes case size and finishing leave a little (or a lot) to be desired. Thankfully that is most certainly not the case with the new Chopard L.U.C Flying T Twin. In fact, I would almost go as far to say that its proportions are close to perfect.
