    Every watch brand has their range through which they get to brag. Finishing, design and movements are all aspects where a watchmaker can shine, and Longines choose to represent their best with the Master Collection - a range of classically styled wristwatches that emulate some of their complicated timepieces from the infancy of the brand, while integrating modern style cues. The case sizes you’ll see in this range are 40mm and 42mm, covering a suitable chunk of average wrist sizes no matter your gender, as the technical nuance and classical elegance defy any narrow categorisation.
    The iconic barleycorn dials are still as present as ever, having become something of a Longines Master Collection hallmark, as well as a sumptuous blue sunburst dial that envelops the viewer. No matter which dial you go for, the blue enamel sky on the moonphase complication is a treat to behold, occasionally catching the light and glinting up at you in a way that’s indescribably pretty. For some even prettier videography of these gorgeous watches both front and back, check out Andrew’s review of the Longines Master Collection here.

    I think a lot can be said about someone who buys Longines watches. In a world/time where watches are unnecessary and the only brands people notice are the upper elite names...I think owning/wearing a Longines is a very subtle way to show that you appreciate horological history, luxury and class while still retaining a genuine sense of humbleness.

    I recently bought an almost unused black dial triple date Moonphase Master Collection 42mm. And I must say, even though I hadn't intended so, I now almost consider it my grail watch. Just everything about it is so beautiful. It really opened my eyes or this incredible brand and their very rich history.
    It's kinda like Patek 5270 merged with Omega Speedmaster, but with a 6-9-12 sub-dial layout. And I am usually not a fan of that layout, but Longines somehow did it perfectly!

    @almac9203 2 года назад +4

    Rolex don't do complications like moonphase because they only make basic watches. Longines was above Rolex for most of the 20th century until the quartz crisis and now idiots believe Rolex are haute horology when the reality is they a good solid watches hyped up to the heavens. It would be good to see real watchmakers like Longines return to their former glory.

    Bought the silver dial moonphase last week as a wedding present for my brother, also bought the ladies watch (similar looks minus the moon phase complication)...both watches look the part. For me the stand out feature is the blue dials and the 3 day power reserve 👌

    I have the "silver barley corn" version at 40 mm and it is easily one of my favorites. It's perfectly balanced, classy, elegant, and it gets me the most compliments over even my far more expensive watches.
    It's the one watch in my collection I can confidently say that I'll never sell.

    I just baught this black one and it is better than my Omega Aqua Terra. The bracelet doesn't leave teeth marks. The AT does. The dial is legible in all lighting angles the AT is not. The case shape to bracelet shape flows better. The AT case shape is a bit fat headed. I would choose this over an AT any day. Not to mention the AT has antireflection picks up finger smudge reflections

    Love them all! Silver barleycorn is my favorite because it has the slightly old-fashioned look that I like with moonphases. Like a grandfather clock for your wrist. On the other hand, I prefer the applied logo on the blue-dial rather than painted.

    This is perfection. Also a 7” wrist and the black barley corn 42 would be ideal as black also shrinks the appearance of the watch, that dial with the painted Roman numerals and white vintage styled hands just screams elegant perfection for this style of watch. I’d wear it as an everyday-er 😎

    What a beauty! Black one is the one! But, i'm sorry to repeat myself always, in 2021 3atm is not acceptable anymore. Tell me that can handle that we wash our hands at least 5 time per day (on the top of when we actually take a bath), how many time we also put sort of soap to clean our hands before step in in a, for example, Longines boutique.. Come on! 5atm is the new minimum!

      Perhaps a steel bracelet and then change it to an aftermarket leather strap. Because once you've brought the watch, you can never get the branded steel bracelet. The leather one is, over the years, a replaceable item.

    Longines used to make good watches but I have two in the master collection that have crashed and burned within three years. Total waste of money.
    They simply will not last as a daily wear watch and the time keeping isn't that impressive either.
    Save your money, this brand is simply grossly overrated.
