Longines' Conquest Turns 70!

LONGINES

The wrist is somewhat of a runway, showcasing your timepiece to the world — but unlike catwalk shows, your watch can guarantee reliability without delays. In our Summer 24 issue, we celebrate Longines’ Conquest 70th anniversary, adding elegance to everyday life.

The wrist is somewhat of a runway: a novel progeny is showcased to the world, and there’s a fanfare to the spectacle. The paces you take with your timepiece in tow are no different to the strides along a walkway with a thousand eyes. It’s a case of presenting to the world exactly who you want to be that day, and telling a story. There is, however, a key difference. Catwalk shows hardly ever begin on time, and it’s the anticipation that yields the thrill of the pageant. The watch, on the other hand, marries performance and reliability in one, and you don’t have to wait for the congregation of curious bodies to start the show.
There might be awe-struck eyes at your timepiece, but the curtain opens as soon as you fasten the clasp.

Without leaning on the adage of a well-quoted bard too much, with a watch, everywhere is your stage. Longines confirm just that, adding elegance to the conquest of everyday life, because enchantment isn’t reserved only for special occasions, with an all-new assembly for the Conquest. Built for the evolution of the everyday, these satin-finished stars that mark their 70th anniversary of the Conquest this year, combine a robust aesthetic for sporting elegance. So while fashion might have a few tricks up its sleeve to keep you waiting for the show to start, prompting the desirability, a watch brings you joy first-hand – and without the cramped seats. Pull up a chair to your own show, and applaud the cyclical performance of the Conquest instead. Five minutes to curtain.
