HIGHLY COMMENDED
It is 60 years since Longines introduced its first Flagship collection in 1957, an anniversary that is being marked with a classical timepiece that would not have looked out of place in the mid 20th century.
The timeless combination of an uncluttered white dial in a steel or gold, slim profile case with crisply angular hands and markers that will never show their age; a perfect blend of technical mastery and subdued elegance, Longines correctly notes.
Brand ambassador Kate Winslet reportedly chose the design for this anniversary edition, and showed impeccable taste with an understated 38.5m men’s watch that any Hollywood actress would also happily wear.
The steel editions have been produced in a limited quantity of 1,957 priced at £1390, while only 60 each of the yellow gold or rose gold watches were made.
