Horological Meandering

Not for me...

Neither for me but some will like them...😉

By: India Whiskey Charlie : January 3rd, 2024-21:09

Probably... On 8 Billion potential clients...

Today's Longines makes me feel sad;

By: Volney. : January 3rd, 2024-21:25

I have much admiration for their productions in the 1950's.

And 30's and 40's... Even in the 60's and early 70's.

By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-21:28

Of course!

By: Volney. : January 3rd, 2024-21:36

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.

Me too. I could build a collection of around 15 / 20 vintage watches from them.

By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-21:37

At ease! They've been prolific.

By: Volney. : January 3rd, 2024-21:38

Yes, at ease. If you only think of 13 ZN and 30 CH, we already are at 20.

And that were only for chronographs! One should add a great Majetek,

By: Volney. : January 3rd, 2024-21:44

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.

Yes, the Majetek, of course! And the others you mentioned!!! Hmmmmmmm!

By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-21:45

I am only a budding collector, still have - hopefully - a long way to go.

By: Volney. : January 3rd, 2024-21:39

Add some great military ones ( my grail: 6111 " Big Indian ", or the 47 mm Pilot Longines Wittnauer ) ...

By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-21:41

Now that is big game.

By: Volney. : January 3rd, 2024-21:45

Yep! A huge one.

By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-21:45

Too many watches, too little time.

By: Volney. : January 3rd, 2024-21:46

For that sort of hunting, one needs to be quite a player!

By: Volney. : January 3rd, 2024-21:45

A game I am trying to play for years... Without a total success... :)

By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-21:46

Well, it's no zero-sum game.

By: Volney. : January 3rd, 2024-21:48

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.

And by the way,

By: Volney. : January 3rd, 2024-21:50

You don't exactly look like a total loser either.

Not totally! ;)

By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-22:03

Not for me

By: singingbee : January 4th, 2024-03:10

Personally I find the design of these quite generic..

Not my style … thanks for sharing
