LONGINES Monument ref.3474-831 cal.520 / Late 1980s Manual Wind

Longines is a Swiss brand with roughly 180 years of tradition.

This example is a manual-wind model made between the late 1980s and the early 1990s.

The winged hourglass struck into the caseback stands for flight toward the future and the passage of time.

It is Longines' philosophy given form.

Classical aesthetics held in a small case.

An onion crown, an acrylic crystal, and Arabic indexes carrying the breath of vintage.

Across the decades, that atmosphere has not faded.

What beats inside is the Cal. Longines 520.

A low-beat movement at 21,600 vibrations per hour.

With a running time of about 45 hours, it goes on marking time slowly but surely.
