    Longines, official timekeeper for the first Olympic Games in 1896. They also made the first chronograph wristwatch in 1913.
    I love that they're still working out of their original building #roots. I'm lucky enough to own a mechanical HydroConquest Chronograph. It's 12 years old but it looks like new and is accurate to within 5s per day.

    In High School I worked at Carl’s Diamond Brokerage/Carl’s Jewelry. We carried many fine quality Watches. Longines was one of the fine quality Watch Brands. One of my best friends Father could not wear many watches because he was one of the rare individuals who “magnetized” watches. I put him in a Longine and he wore that watch for many years and would buy nothing else but Longine. Longine, in my opinion, ranks with the Best Watches in the World!

    Fact: I purchased my first Longines watch recently from a Thrift Store online selling on eBay. It was on a short bid, and won it at $54. It is a 70s Olympian Mechanical watch, just mailed it our yesterday to have it appraised and get a estimated cost for service, cleaning, and polishing. Wish me luck!

    The two watches handed down to me by my grandfather were a gold Tissot (Seaster Seven) and a Longines, (Flagship) both manual wind from the 60's and 34 - 35mm. As a late teen and 20's, I never wore them at first but as I got older I started to appreciate the quality and elegance of the pair and when I got the Longines serviced from the London department store, the manager took a note of the watch number and came up with my Grandads name and date of purchase, I told him it was handed down the family. He had a word with his manager and they decided to service the watch for free as they like their classic timepieces to continue to be used and seen for many generations to come. My mind was blown for the quality of service.

    I thought the Kentucky Derby was a 1.25 mile race, but according to this, it's not a distance race, it's a race for two minutes.
    Presumably, the horse that's in front at the two minute mark is the winner. Bit like Le Mans 24 hours I suppose.

    This is a cheesy content-spam video, but I still crave a Legend Diver. I agree with others who appreciate the class without the absurd price tags, and Longines is cool that way. Don't get me wrong, I'm also a sucker for the crazy price points. But Longines is in a good place in the market, offering excellent value in legitimately serious watches. They do use ETA movements, which are excellent -- very accurate, reliable and serviceable. This is standard practice in this price range, and there's nothing inherently wrong with it. However it's also true that that the same movements are built into much cheaper watches. But I'm still getting a Legend Diver... that's unless I get the call from my Rolex AD. It's just no use trying to make sense of it, once bitten.
