thanks Markus for the excellent report.
I have to say that I am very pleased with what Longines presented this year, especially when taking the Monopusher Chrono into account, which I guess is not strictly a novelty however was new to me.
On the 1954 reedition Conquest, I think they did an excellent job. Especially nice is the enamel medal on the backside.
The monopusher chronograph is a very attractive in my books. I especially like the white dial with the red number 12 and the blue hands. It makes for a nice contrast.
The pocket watch re-edition is to forget for. I don't know who is going to buy it anyway, considering that there are many original Pocket watches around that have been crafted with much more attention to detail in mind.
best,
Stefan

They have the feeling that I'm a parrot now... but commercially speaking for a brand like Longines which sells high volumes, the date is always mandatory since it is a strong demand from the market. At least, we can appreciate that the Conquest Heritage e...
Thanks a lot Marcus for the report!

And as you already know, my fav of this Longines collection is the Conquest Heritage. I appreciated a lot that Longines preserved its size and its dial. Thanks a lot for the report! Fx

Thanks for a wonderful and comprehensive report here. I am glad to see Longines pooling from their extensive portfolio of classic designs. The Heritage 1935 is definitely on my shopping list although I agree with you, it would have been a much nicer tribu...
