Born many centuries ago, flinque enamel is a technique that few can
achieve. Some models from The Longines Master Collection, for
instance, feature a 'barleycorn' pattern stamped into the dial plate
and visible through a thin coating of enamel, itself protected by a
sapphire crystal under which move handsome blued-steel 'blade'
hands.<br><br>A sense of refinement in every detail, understated
aesthetic excellence throughout, dependable hand-wound or self-winding
mechanical movement here again, finely balanced designs and
intelligent choices from a team of professionals drawing on the
expertise and experience of... who else but Longines? <br> Longines
established its first factory in Switzerland in 1897, but can trace
its roots back to 1832. It is world renowned for producing elegant and
technically superior timepieces, and for being associated with
legendary pioneers that include aviator Charles Lindbergh. Longines
produces high-quality watches with both quartz and mechanical
movements.
