Longines La Grande Classique

History
The luxury watch house, Longines, was established in the Swiss town of St. Imier, in 1832. Founded by Auguste Agassiz, the company was earlier known by the name of Compagnie des Montres Longines Francillon SA. The company’s winged hourglass logo is now synonymous with outstanding timepieces in exquisite designs.

Design
The Longines L4.705.2.11.2 belongs to the brand’s eminent La Grande Classique De collection. This watch is the epitome of simplistic beauty and features a minimalistic design. The white dial of the watch is enclosed in a gold plated steel case, creating a stunning contrast of colours. The rectangular case of the watch measures 33mm in diameter. Black Roman numerals indicate the hours, along with minute and hour hands in black. The Longines company logo graces the dial below the 12 o’clock hour marker to break the monotony of an otherwise simplistic design. Accompanying the gold plated bezel is a fluted gold plated crown on the right, which ensures precision when wound. This timepiece rests on a gorgeous black leather strap, which provides for easy wearing and removal of the watch, and sits handsomely on the wrist of the man owning it. Its stunning combination of black, white and gold makes it a truly classic piece from the house of Longines.

Features
Simplistic in design as well as in features, this watch has been powered by a quartz movement, which ensures precise time keeping. Water resistant to a depth of 30m, this watch is capable of withstanding accidental spills and splashes of water without causing any damage to its internal machinery. Also, this watch has been covered by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which protects the dial of the watch from nicks and scratches. A handsome watch, this timepiece is sure to garner the envious glances of its admirers.
