Faithful to its history and desirous to honour its stylistic heritage, it now offers a jewel-watch that is truly the heir to the firm’s vocation for classicism and refinement: the Longines 175 Diamonds.
This watch takes its inspiration from a piece created by Longines in the 1920s – a golden period as regards feminine refinement. Taking the form of a rectangular case in 18-carat white gold, this example of the nonetheless timeless elegance claimed by the firm is adorned with decorative knots around its border. The face delicately displays the black steel hands and is protected by a scratchproof sapphire glass. Fitted with a glossy white leather strap, the timepiece epitomises and renews Longines' historic aesthetic values.
