Longineshas presented the new collection at the Neutchâtel ObservatoryConquest V.H.P, a reinterpretation of the successful watch from the 80s, with which it once again rises in the field of quartz in which it has extensive experience.

Always linked to the timekeeping environment, the brandLongineshas always been a pioneer in the development of high-precision systems, breaking all known records, from the development of the first quartz watch in 1954, which it provided to the Chronocinégines athletics judges, to the appearance of the “Ultra-Quartz”, the first quartz wristwatch, in 1969 and the Conquest in 1984.

The new model is part of the era of connected watches, a feature that gives it new advantages but without the inconveniences derived from recharging batteries or waves.
