LONGINES The Longines Master Collection Retrograde

[Ernie Romers]

Backed by more than 175 years of watchmaking history, the winged hourglass brand now presents The Longines Master Collection Retrograde in 18K pink gold. Much of Longines’ savoir-faire has gone into the development of an automatic movement which will ensure that this sumptuous piece becomes the flagship model of a collection highlighting the brand’s watchmaking tradition. Moving in harmony, the hands dance gracefully across the four retrograde scales, providing a surprising degree of legibility on this truly captivating timepiece.
