India Whiskey Charlie's original post on the new gold Longines Master Collection GMT sparked a discussion among collectors about Longines' historical use of gold and its significance. This article delves into the brand's legacy, exploring how its past gold models inform contemporary releases and maintain collector interest. India Whiskey Charlie's initial presentation provides a crucial starting point for understanding Longines' evolving approach to luxury materials.
I have much admiration for their productions in the 1950's.
I was mentioning the 1950's because I own two specimens fitted with Cal. 27 M.S. and French market rose gold cases from the era I especially like. But you are right, Longines has been a very impressive company, with many a vintage model I would like to own.
As well as a whole range of time-only watches, for example and in no order : Art-Déco. tanks fitted with Cal. 20.28, 1950's Cal. 27. 0S., etc.
What's lovely is that your win is not always anybody else's loss: by sharing pictures and insights the winner also increases collective utility.
You don't exactly look like a total loser either.
Personally I find the design of these quite generic..
