We have to respectfully agree that lately LONGINES have released better watch than some “big names.” My first ever Longines was Master Collection Moonphase. I couldn’t believe what I was getting for $3000. Absolutely lovely piece! 👌🏼

Its funny, when i first got into watches, i didnt care for longines collection. One or two watches i might consider, but nothing that captured. Then longines just released hit after hit. Sector dial, spirit, zulu time, new conquest, all amazing.

Awesome brand. It’s the Rolex for smart money. I’ve worn the brand on my wrist for over thirty years. When my last chronograph finally died from daily use I sent it to Switzerland and they told me it was beyond repair as they did not have the parts for it. They then offered me 70% of any new watch. A master collection chronograph now gets bettered daily on my wrist. Love the brand.

I’m a petite (4’-11’’) woman who’s always loved watches. But, I am not really interested in the normal smaller, non-complicated jewelry-type watches typically marketed to women. In 2015, I wanted to get myself a really special watch. I ended up choosing the 42 mm Longines Master Quadruple Retrograde. It is THE watch in my - small and modest- collection. Talk about value for money! I still get joy wearing and even just looking at it. Although it’s quite substantial, I find it suits me perfectly and I often get compliments when I wear it (both at home in Switzerland or when I travel back to Canada). Thank you for this video and also the one when you visited them (I was soooo jealous!).

That Flagship Heritage Moonphase is so beautiful. It'll probably be my next watch

I’m the owner of the Longines Big Eye Avigation, and 42mm Legend Diver. I am a huge Longines fan! I am going to Switzerland at the end of August, I’m hoping to make a stop at Longines HQ. Great video Teddy ❤ I would love to see a video like this on IWC.

I'm really glad you made this video giving Longines this in-depth coverage. I've historically been a Seiko fan given history and value, but over the last few years, I feel Longines has taken that position of delivering exemplary value in both movement and designs at a very aggressive price point—especially as Seiko has been increasing prices while not delivering any innovations in movements and just iterating on same past designs. Longines is now making great watchmaking accessible to many. Great video, Teddy!

I've sold all my watches and built a two-watch collection consisting of a Tag Heuer Carrera (39mm, black) and a Longines Conquest (38mm, silver). Love them both!

[Rhobinson]

Teddy you put me on to Longines years ago and it has become my favorite watch brand thus far!

[marcopolo]

Their service center is absolutely top notch. Sent a 15 year old HCQ in for a service, new bezel and full polish. They called me to discuss my options after receiving it and had it back to me in 3 weeks and the price was less than what i paid a place in NYC to service it last time. Crazy.

I love that ultrachron and the big eye. The conquest VHP also very cool tech at an amazing price point.

[SaranKRS]

I bought the new conquest 38 champagne as my first luxury watch and damn am I impressed! Can’t stop looking at it even if I know the time lol

This video is a perfect 20 minutes on Longines.

Thanks for the video, Teddy. The Longines Zulu Time was my first big watch purchase and I'm still in love with it.

[ryanmchugh]

Recently purchased the Zulu time with the dark green bezel and I wear it every day. It is my very first Swiss watch purchase and I could not be happier. Thank you for providing so much passion, information, and direction on watch collecting.

[samadkariyaniya]

You are one of the reason why I decided to go for the Zulu time 38. That watch is pure class, fits amazingly and also gives you an extra complication. I am really glad that you came up with this video. It shows to normal people how important this Brand is. Thanks again teddy

Thanks for the great video. I got my first Longines in 2011, the same year my father passed and my son was born, it was a gift from my mother. Very nice watch, one of my most accurate watches. I have owned several Longines like a Saint Imier Chronograph as well as a vintage Dive Timer with a Valjoux 72, but the Hydroconquest will stay in my collection perpetually until it goes to my son...

[charliepeebles]

As someone who just bought the new hydro conquest gmt I can confirm to the quality of these watches. I find it to match the quality of my omega seamaster diver coming in at a price point that makes it much more compelling as an everyday driver. The polish on the hands is something to behold and I find myself staring at the intricacies of this watch longer than I care to admit.

[milanchristi]

I'm definitely a Longines fan boy - I have five. And they comprise most of my rotation. Love em!

[DrBob]

Superb breakdown Teddy! Just purchased my fifteenth watch as a gift for my son-in-law from your team. They truly are customer service professionals and the best in the business. I would like to see a breakdown on Omega and Grand Seiko please. Keep up the terrific work. Stay well and safe!

[freddolman]

I am a Longines fan. I have three modern watches (2 of them bought through Teddy) a Spirit 37, a Hydroconquest, and a Dolce Vita (sector dial version). My antique pocket watch collection includes 3 Longines as well. The Spirit 37, blue dial, is my regular daily driver.
