Located in Saint-Imier, where the winged hourglass brand had its start in 1832, the Longines Museum is filled with treasures synonymous with the brand’s rich know-how. It is here that the brand draws inspiration from its Historic collection, as a tribute to its long watchmaking tradition. So was born The Longines Heritage 1969, a piece with a vintage design echoing the lines of a watch created in the late 1960s.
