Horological Meandering

Some months ago, I asked some informations about my Longines 30 CH Chrono. The answer came within ... 4 hours! A few weeks ago, I tried to get some informations about my Longines Vintage Diver: And once again, the answer came a few hours later... : " Watc...  

Nicolas, Longines has some very high quality vintage watches. You own some of them. Lucky man. Regards Ling

Vintage Longines, for sure! You're perfectly right, Ling, there are a lot of very tempting Vintage Longines. If you only take in consideration the 30 CH or the 13 ZN Chronos, the number of very appealing pieces is far from being limited. Best, Nicolas

To be able to answer after such a short lap of time is the evidence that Longines kept their archives intact. For our greatest pleasure and interest. Hope a lot of manufactures can do the same! Best, Nicolas

That IS very good service! Love the chocolate patina on your LD…! Hope to see it in the metal one day. Best, my friend Blomman

Of the '64 watches, I mean Graham... But I still try to attend the race. One day, for sure... Soon. Best, my friend. Nicolas

Hope it is also available here.

And provide them the movement number... Then, I see no reason to not get an accurate and complete answer. Best, Nicolas

Another 64´s treasure... and what treasure!. This Diver is just amazing, hermano! And big congrats to Longines.... a "small" brand which can be an example for other "big" brands. Congrats hermano!. Now you can buy all the vintage Longines that you want...... 

Lo juro! Gracias para tus palabras, Hermano! Nicolas

2 o 3 mas y paras....Let me don´t believe your words... Un abrazo, hermano! Emilio

a brand who keeps it history will keep a future spot one way or another, i've said it before and ill say it again NICOLAS i highly respect your taste especially in vintage watches , and a confession im making for the first time you redefined the meaning o... 

A brillliant manufacture. This brand had such a brilliant Past that I dind it is a pity that the Swatch Group don't let him play a bigger game, nowadays. Thanks for your nice words, Faisal, you're really too kind. Best, Nicolas.

Thanks for recounting the story, Nicolas. It is often these first contacts with companies via websites that make a deep impression. I recently had reason to contact Breguet and Bremont via their on-line sites and in both cases received prompt and helpful ... 

When Companies have an important past in Horology, it is somewhat vital for it to save its past. And as you mentionned Breguet, everybody who has been in contact with E. Breguet can confirm his disponibility in providing infos about our timekeepers. Best,... 

...relate to manufacturing date?

Hi BDLJ, Yes, I have a listing in a book that gives the year of manufacturing Vs serial numbers for Longines. You can send me a pm or put up the serial number here, and I will be happy to look it up for you. Sorry, scanner not around and inconvenient to a... 

That's what I've been asked, to provide me the year of release, or, more exactly, the year the Manufacture sold the watch to the AD. Best, Ben. Nicolas

Makes me love Longines more. I wish the new chrono was a manual wind, although I may still consider it after taking a look in the metal. I wish everyone, including Longines, would quit with adding date windows to re-editions though. Cheers, Daos

Like they did on the Past... I can't agree more with your final observation: " Please Longines, quit this date ", like on your last re edition of the Pilot watch. Best, Sister. Nicolas
