Resolutely classic, the Record collection is emblematic of the watchmaking expertise of the winged hourglass brand. Through its new Record collection, Longines gives full expression to its characteristic excellence and timeless elegance. Today, the brand’s watchmakers, masters of time measurement, are supplementing this collection with a new tachometer chronograph with a distinctive vintage aesthetic.

The Record Heritage in a simple stainless steel round case that is 40 mm wide and just 13.80 mm thick. The polished and slightly bevelled bezel encloses the slightly domed sapphire glass, covered with multiple layers of anti-reflective coating.

The dial is matt black. Elegant golden Arabic numerals mark the even hours, while slender overlaid indexes mark the odd hours. The absence of a date window gives greater prominence to the seconds subdial, placed at 3 o’clock, and the 30-minute counter, placed at 9 o’clock.

The tachometer scale is positioned on the outside of the dial for better visibility. Already enhanced by these aesthetic characteristics, the vintage spirit of the Record Heritage is reinforced by the slim rectangular pushers.

A silicon balance spring drives an exclusive Longines movement that is anti-magnetic. This calibre is chronometer-certified by the COSC, thus guaranteeing precision and reliability. Visible through the transparent case back, it drives the slender, simple, golden leaf-shape hands.

The first chronograph in the Record collection, this new timepiece is worn with a stainless steel bracelet or a brown leather strap with ecru stitching. The Record Heritage’s elegant style, meticulous finishing and technical excellence mean that it will look equally good on a man’s or a woman’s wrist. So, are you ready to measure time too?

 =================================================

Stefan Kudoke

„More than 15 years ago, I said to my wife, 'I have a crazy idea: I will manufacture my own wat-ches!'“ At that time, Stefan Kudoke was a student who already had finished his master-watchmaker's degree and had worked at renowned brands like Glashütte Original, Breguet, and Blancpain be-fore.

With the founding of his eponymous brand in 2008, Stefan pursued his dream full-time and made a name for himself as a creator of exceptionally artistic hand-skeletonized and hand-engraved timepieces among his KUNSTwerk collection. Of the emergence of his second collection, the HANDwerk line, Stefan explained, "After more than 10 years, I refined my skeletonizing skills to their utmost, and I found myself in a position where I wanted to develop my watchmaking skills further. To use old techniques and keep the practical know-how of traditional watchmaking alive has always been very important to me." And he brought this to fruition with the first two models of his new collection: KUDOKE 1 & 2.

With his first own movement, Stefan has fulfilled his dream. Valuable lessons were drawn from the old masters, specifically those of the German-English traditional handcraft of precision watchma-king. "During the development of the Kaliber 1, I was inspired by the design of historical English pocket watches whose use of forms I incorporated into my movement. Ages ago I bought an old English pocket watch movement that lay unused in a drawer for a long time. One day it fell into my hands again, just as the idea of Kaliber 1 began to take shape."

As with his skeleton models, Stefan Kudoke sets great value upon the refinement of the watch components by hand. Be it the polishing of edges at bridges or steel parts, the engravings or the surface treatment of the wheel bridge using a special grinding technology – all steps during the finishing process are carried out by hand exclusively. This is how handcrafted pieces of art are created - in small volumes and with great care and attention to detail.

[Stefan Kudoke, master watchmaker]
