The Longines Master collection draws inspiration from excellent past accomplishments and performances. The famous Longines Weems model from the 1920s has served as a muse for the Master collection, subsequently resulting in strikingly robust timepieces that are comprised of stainless steel. Meanwhile, Longines has supplemented the Master collection with a diverse material range, including 18-carat yellow gold and rose gold. The men’s watches from the Master Collection are fitted with exquisite complications that simply quicken the watch lover’s heartbeat.

The Master Collection initially placed emphasis on male wrists but has now expanded to suit the delicate wrists of ladies. Extravagant material pairings and exciting colour combinations complement the intricate technical functions of the timepieces, including an exquisite moon phase display.
