Tale As Old As Time
Longines recruits renowned Chinese artist Wu Jian’an to create a special design for its Lunar New Year watch. The Swiss brand chose its Conquest Heritage model for this honour. Therefore, engraved on its caseback, the watch features a mystical snake holding a Lingzhi mushroom in its mouth. Inspired by the story of “Stealing the Immortal Herb” taken from the “The Legend of the White Snake”, \the snake is presenting “treasure”, thus symbolising harmony and prosperity. It’s but another example of Longines’ continued commitment to marrying tradition with innovation.
This Conquest Heritage has a 40 mm stainless steel case featuring a vibrant sunray gradient red domed dial. Its beating heart is powered by an exclusive Longines L888.5 mechanical self-winding movement with a 72-hour power reserve.
