Longines passion for mechanical timepieces is unmatched. In a world where some of the biggest watch brands in the world were taking a knee to quartz, Longines fought back. Ultra-Chron, a high beat mechanical movement, accurate within 2 seconds a day, was born. Now, in 2022 Longines is paying tribute to their ground breaking movement technology, and always, they aren't holding anything back.

Seven years! Totally appreciate this piece. I love the care and attention taken to honor the Ultra-Chron's place in watchmaking history.
So happy to have worked on this project. Fantastic job on the edit, Michael.
What did you do on this project? Are you a chip designer?
Imagine your frnd comes and changes the time
I never comment on anything on the internet but I feel compelled to in this case. This film is exceptional. Spectacularly well done on all fronts. Thank you for caring so much about what you are doing that the end result looks and feels so genuinely honest.
3:44 The mission is visible in his eyes. No words needed. Proud to be a part of Longines family.
What a beautiful timepiece, I love high frequency movements especially how the second hand looks almost smooth. One day I'll add one to my collection.
I don't love that the batteries die in less than two years though... But I guess people can decide if that's worth it to them. Seeing a quartz "sweep" is really cool, though.
@@ams914 If you actually listened, you'd know it does not use a battery. 🤦♂️
The watch, the history, the storytelling... superb job guys!!
I've been a fan of Longines for a long time and was saving for a Spirit in 37mm or 40mm, but wow! I'm in love with this watch!! I think I'll have to keep saving and maybe get this one!!
This is one of the best project I've worked on. So honored
With each story and film you guys create you relight the love and fire for certain watch brands for the community. Brands that aren’t particularly mainstream and need to have their story told in a different light. With each longines film you create my intrigue and love of the brand grows!
Longines has been spot on with their releases and marketing the last years, and they have the quality and history to back it up. So am I a fan? Hell yeah, I recently purchased the Longines Flagship Heritage and I couldn’t be happier with such an amazing watch.
Great promo as always, keep it up guys!
Longines is a great brand, with a ton of heritage. It should have been right there with the likes of Omega and Rolex. Sadly, it finds itself in the extremely competitive market bracket and is seen as an entry-luxury swiss watch by most. Swatch won't allow Longines to compete with Omega which it totally could. But with Omega moving upmarket there is room for Longines to take that spot. I hope they'll review and reconcile their catalogue. Sure, there are many hits in their heritage collection. What I believe Longines needs is its own "sub" or "speedy". A line that is unmistakable Longines. I love what they're doing with their Spirit collection. Also hope to see more watches with this movement.
They already kind of have that. but it's pretty rare and unknown. its called The Longines Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch. watch designed by the legendary pilot Charles Lindbergh
Longines is most certainly NOT an entry level brand - this is a very wrong thing to say. Tissot is an entry level brand, not Longines - Longines is a mid level luxury brand.
@@tancreddehauteville764 always someone looking for an argument! I'm sick of the humans that exist on-line
@@PasanJayaweeraYashoda that’s a truly interesting piece. Thank you for mentioning it. Honestly, I don’t much about its history. So a research is due.
@@tancreddehauteville764 I had no intension to offend Longines. My point is that as a brand it’s highly underrated.
I hope they’ll be able to change that with the new releases.
Longines is hands down one of my favorite watch manufacturers. Incredible watches for the price.
Wow Longjnes is on a roll. So many incredible releases lately. Great work team.
I don’t have a great comment, but I do have a Longines Conquest VHP 36mm. It’s a beautiful and insanely accurate little watch and I love it very much. Nobody in Switzerland is quite as obsessive about accuracy as Longines, I think. And that really makes them interesting as a brand.
ETA does make some quartz movements that are accurate to around ten seconds a year, but I don’t know of anything else Swiss.
I'm admiring what Longines have and are doing. Their watches look so classy and to me they tick every box. I could build out a whole collection purely from the watches they've bought out this year. They sent me their new catalogue and every page is a pleasure to look through.
Stunning video guys! Now I want this watch or any Longines for that matter.so much history and passion. How are they not much bigger as a brand.
I never understand when someone creates something long ago with less technology around and then struggles to recreate it in a time period FULL of technology.
I suspect in this case it is because quartz watches became more accurate over time, no longer be doable with mechanic movements. Remember, Grand Seiko has watches that are only off by +/-10s per year.
Just so! It’s truly a weird phenomena! Technics went through a similar challenge trying to recreate the technology for making the 1200 turntables, which it had discontinued a years ago. Machines, critical documents, and the important know-how of people who manufacture the specialized tools we strap on our risk are lost or break down. Without a thoughtful steward, the old ways are quickly lost, sometimes forever.
@@heiner71 @PC Longines has the VHP which is +/- 5 seconds as well, tied with the Citizen Chronomaster and better than the Grand Seiko. The GS understates its perf but so does Longines and Citizen.
It's great to see Longines finally going back to their roots and making watches that actually compete for the title of most accurate watch again, after decades of being subject to the whims of the swatch group. They were extremely innovative in the quartz space before the takeover and it is outrageous that Swatch wouldn't at least try to have them always produce the most accurate quartz watch.
The aquisition of Longines by the Swatch group was hostile and intended specifically to brand mechanicals as luxury instead of outdated by simply killing off the high-quality swiss quartz segment despite the fact that it was perfectly profitable. They would have stayed ahead of the Japanese in precision otherwise, and the way Swiss innovation was killed off in the name of marketing was a crime.
@@BosonCollider It seems like the point I tried to make was lost here. The OP stated that "I never understand when someone creates something long ago with less technology around and then struggles to recreate it in a time period FULL of technology." The point I tried to make is that today the quartz movements are so accurate that nobody would be able to create a mechanical movement with the same or better accuracy as the best quartz movements.
Exactly. This is a great looking and spec’d watch, but unless I’m missing something, the original model from DECADES AGO was spec’d to +/- 2 sec per day, and the new 2022 model is only spec’d for -4/+6 sd? There are a quite a few METAS chronometers that meet that same exact spec today, so what exactly makes this the “World’s Most Accurate Watch” ?
Magnificent! Simply exquisite! I always advocate for watch collectors to acquire a Longines watch. You’re not just purchasing a brand; you’re getting a piece of horology with a deep and rich legacy!
Amazing release by Longines. Striking looks, amazing movement and excellent quality. I love it!
Excuse me DarkGamer, I do understand the original architecture of the movement. I happen to think they have made a some very respectable developments to it. 36,000bph, anti-magnetic, improved power reserve and accuracy. My comments about the quality and design also still stand.
Haha. Dark Gamer removed his comment. Clearly realised he was completely off the mark with his comments. 😂
I really like this watch and when I saw it in Goldsmiths a few days ago it looked amazing up close. The size is the only thing stopping me from owning it
I'm a huge fan of Longines. One of the watches that actually got me into this hobby was my older brother's Longines Conquest Heritage. Now after this incredible video I even want one myself! Keep up the great stuff.
You guys seriously make the world best watch advertisements. Just makes me want more watches.
Punches way, way higher than what the general current perception of the Longines brand is! It is a great watch with an even greater bang for buck! I love mine!
This format and editing are top notch. Very enjoyable. I'm a fan of the ultra-chron
I really hope Longines makes a rebound as a brand. I remember seeing them in shopping mall jewelry stores as a kid and it has forever cheapened their brand value to me. I know i’m in the wrong here, but…..perception is often reality
I agree, if Longines wants to start playing again with the "Big Boys" they need to pull the brand from the retail shops. They can't sell a " Luxury " brand when it sitting next to a G Shock next to a Casio!
You've definitely hit on a good point here. You can't just make a great watch nowadays, it has to have the desirability of owning the Longines brand. The need to invest in boutiques and using only premium AD's
As an Australian, I never understood these comments. Here, Longines are only sold in mid to high level authorised dealers and boutiques.
Such a beautiful watch. With Longines’ recent increase in quality, this becomes a viable alternative to even Omega. So much more interesting than Tudor. Great video too - Longines can struggle to communicate in the Anglo-sphere, so more of this is needed.
To see Daniel Hug's passion tells you all you need to know about this watch and brand. Beautiful work guys, I'm sure Longines are delighted.
Love it! Just got my dad a Longines for his birthday. Can't wait to give it to him!
For the first time in my life I’m obsessed with a longines. Great job.
This is so beautifully shot and edited. What a perfect way to encapsulate this watch 💕
Brilliant work, as usual. Really cool looking watch, Longines stays underrated
This is the best looking one yet!! Thank you guys for the info and inspiration. Not only with watches but just life in general.
Perfect. You keep bouncing between which is better, the gorgeous new watch or the gorgeous short film.
All week I have been talking to people about the Captain Grecco video and now this. Absolutely amazing work guys. Incredible.
Please Longines make a smaller version of this watch!
Its a gorgeous piece, but too big for a lot of people
Really beautiful watch.
Beautifully represents Longines, and as always perfectly edited. Great work guys.
Your video work is astonishingly good. "The world's most accurate watch" is an attention-grabbing headline that makes me want to learn more about the Longines Ultra-Chron.
Just got this a few days ago. And I love it. Been researching and obsessing over it since it was announced.
Great video! Longines is spicing up the watch market ;)
Just received a call from my AD (Mauritius). My Ultrachron has arrived... beautiful ad
This is the first time I'm excited about a Longines in a long (no pun intended) time!
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
The Tudor BB ceramic, aquis cal 400 and omega smp300 have just gained another competitor for the best high spec diver. I love them all though.
Incredibly cool. Puts Longines on the radar for me because of this actually…will be looking into this piece closely now!
I get the feeling Longines are being given their head by the Swatch group. The board at looking at them and Omega and saying show us what you can do. Both great brands but Longines is the one on the rise.
I agree with Dr Scribbles below. This is your best video yet. Keep up the good work.
Which handmade italian leather strap would go with this theo?
Great history and even better cinematography!
I am truly excited to see this! I can't wait to try it on. Accuracy very important to me. And this piece is beautiful
Again ! Another great job! Especially the choice of music! Makes me want to own one!!
Great short film for a fantastic watch. Well done guys.
Longines Flagship Heritage is one of my modest grails. Great brand!
In my opinion a most beautiful watch. More attractive than any Rolex or other Swiss piece
Congratulations…you invented an advert I don’t want to skip.
Please bring out a date option model. The watch is lovely as, is but I prefer a date window.
Video was very well done. Made an already interesting watch even more compelling. One might more seriously contemplate this watch after seeing this video.
Such a cool story and cinematography to go with it. Keep it up TH
Curious - My Times quartz is literally accurate to + 5.5 seconds a month year after tear. only exception is when the battery is getting low every 5-6 years.
Lovely looking watch
Beautiful video with a clickbait title. Not noting automatic/mechanical in the title is obviously intentional.
What can I say, this and the Zulu time are probably my two favourite releases this year, I've always been a fan of longines in fact I own 4 in my collection and it looks like number 5 will soon be here as I've fallen in love with this watch 😂 great video guys keep up the good work 👌👍
Beautiful piece ! I always loved Longines 🙏🏼
It seems like they want to make a comeback. That's what's most important for a company. Complacency is the enemy of business progress.
Superb, and I now want one.
An absolute masterpiece, one I very much hope to own someday
Oscar worthy work!!! Exquisite timepiece
Great video. Also, love the bezel on that watch
Congratulations! That’s a beautiful watch!
Looking at a 1969 Ultracron online… wow!!
Lovely looking watch, but at 43 mm it’s too big
the vintage 41.5mm ones wear quite small, so the 43mm might actually be the perfect size for these. amazing design. great video!
My thoughts exactly 💯 cushion cases usually wear smaller I do hope for a lumed seconds hand though on a future variant. I'm between the Longines Ultra chron diver and a Doxa 300 right now both are awesome 👌 😅
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 Yeah true, not all cushion cases, the more edgy, and square, the bigger it looks. But these more rounded ones like the Doxa 300s and these wear quite well. I wouldn't necessarily say small, as a 42.5mm Doxa 300 does not wear small, but it does wear WELL. On most wrists that is, but obviously, it's still a quite chunky toolwatch, so on a very small wrist it may wear big. You gotto try them is the obvious answer for wearability questions.
I picked one up recently and it wears more like a 40mm. Very cool watch
@@michellep2682 Can the movement be serviced by a independent watch maker on the Longines.?
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 I am not sure on that but would assume so. It's not a complicated movement.
Great video and quality production
Good job guys! Great video!
this is your best work. by far.
Great video guys. Looks like a great watch too.
Amazing video, gents. Keep up the good work.
A gorgeous watch, but can't compete with radio-controlled time in Casio watches ;)
Best. Watch. Ever.
Ultra-Chron is what I smoked last time I was in Denver. 🔥
Wow, great work lads
Did Longines do High Frequency before the Girard Perregaux Gyromatic HF?
Ggod work from Longines… nice looking and funktional watch ..
Nicely done, T&H.
Good work Michael and Christian
Beautiful video. Well done.
Very nice film. The watch is pretty cool too.
Now stick this movement in the PRX
Iconic Time piece, l sold my Rolex, and bought me this beauty! I love my ultra chron!
Why red?? All black and white, or even orange. Red is a no no
Great stuff guys!
GS: hold my beer
Beautiful watch
IMO they totally missed the mark on the size though…
Gorgeous and impressive technically!
FUCK YAS YOUR GUYS NAILED IT! ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS VIDEO. GOOSE BUMPS AS OF 3 SECS INTO THE VIDEO.
Is Longines much better respected in Europe and Asia than the US? I always think of their ski race timing and athletic sports sponsorship, but that’s not so popular in the US.
Longines can use all the good publicity it can get...
Great video!
Motivated to buy!
Why do you guys render 16:9 with black bars?
