Lucerne, 10 May 2019 – Longines has been known for producing exceptional timepieces since 1832. Continuing in this tradition, the company went back to the archives of their rich history to find inspiration for their latest creation: the Longines Master Collection Chronograph in stainless steel. This new timepiece combines a classically elegant look that is reminiscent of the vintage chronograph models with refined blue details. Longines’ latest addition to the Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS is limited to 500 pieces and is designed for true watchmaking aficionados.

For Longines and Bucherer, this recent cooperation was a natural continuation of their internationally successful partnership of more than a decade. Patrick Graf, Chief Commercial Officer at Bucherer, remembers: “When the Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS first launched in 2016, Longines was one of the chosen partners and embraced the idea of creating an exclusive model for our extraordinary collection. The first Longines Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS model – a great combination of the right product, the right design and the right partners – was very well received by press and consumers alike and turned out to be quite a success.”

Exclusive variation of a Longines icon

Launched in 2005, the Longines Master Collection is the epitome of the brand’s watchmaking history, incorporating its watchmaking expertise – amassed over the years through combined research into exacting technology – and timeless elegance. “Bucherer and Longines have been working together on their shared passion for watchmaking for years. Our excellent collaboration led to the development of the first Longines Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS three years ago.

This success inspired us to work together with Bucherer on this second edition, which will delight lovers of fine timepieces”, states Charles Villoz, Longines Vice President Sales. The Longines Master Collection Chronograph Bucherer BLUE EDITIONS combines exclusive features such as a blue and silver sunray-brushed dial with a brown calfskin strap, and is limited to 500 pieces. This special colour combination, in addition to the exclusive inscription on the transparent case back and the limited edition, makes this automatic timepiece rather unique and appealing for watch enthusiasts who are fond of tradition and prefer a classically elegant, restrained style.

At the dawn of the 19th century, the Bovet brothers revolutionized the applied arts of watchmaking as known up to then, raising them to a degree of excellence that remains unequaled, as evidenced by the omnipresence of BOVET timepieces in the most prestigious academic art museums in the world.

BOVET 1822 presents a collection of unique timepieces that highlights the history of Chinese dragons, a composition of creatures with features of no less than nine animals that symbolizes the power or the emperor, while embodying the forces of nature.

Approximately one hundred hours are required to produce each dial, with details so fine that the work demands the use of a binocular microscope and a brush that consists of a single marten hair.

This is a major challenge for the artist who paints each of them by hand on the small surface of the mother-of-pearl dial. Presented on the Amadeo Fleurier 43mm timepiece, these dials are highlighted by the iconic convertible case, which enables collectors to admire their work of art as a wristwatch or pocket watch or to display it as a table clock.

The history of Maison BOVET began in China in 1818, where the Bovet brothers’ excellence in the decorative arts and technical ingenuity captivated Emperor Jiaqing, his successor Emperor Daoguang and their dignitaries, resulting in a passion and recognition among art collectors.

Two centuries later, the special bonds between BOVET 1822 and Chinese history remain intact, an inspiration for Mr. Raffy, owner of BOVET 1822, and his artisans to honor the wishes of collectors by offering them unique timepieces whose decorative arts reflect their passion for ancient history and art.

With this exclusive offer, the virtuosity of the miniaturist painters is once again combined with the creative ingenuity of the House’s technicians to amaze the most demanding collectors and their successors. It perpetuates the values and symbols of an age-old culture and an incomparable time-honored expertise that has now united the Maison BOVET and the Middle Kingdom for 197 years.
