Record – Longines
Based in Saint-Imier, Switzerland since 1832, Longines watchmakers enjoy an expertise steeped in tradition, elegance and performance. Since the Record collection combines classic elegance with excellence, the watch will be competing in probably the most interesting category of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève: Petite Aiguille. This category is devoted to watches with a retail price between CHF 4,000 and CHF 10,000.
The movement of these timepieces includes a silicon balance spring featuring unique properties. Moreover, Longines is introducing new variations in rose gold or in stainless steel and rose gold, certified as “chronometers” by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). The watches of the Record collection are available in four sizes (26, 30, 38.5 and 40 mm) and a variety of dials, and are intended for men or women.
The Record features two separate and distinct sized calibers and in order to enhance the accuracy and longevity of its timepieces, Longines integrates silicon balance springs into its movements. This lightweight material is resistant to corrosion, and is unaffected by normal temperature variations, magnetic fields and atmospheric pressure. Its price: 6’300 CHF.
