Cover Story: LONGINES CONQUEST V.H.P. GMT FLASH SETTING

Longines is continuing to target high-precision quartz through the V.H.P. collection, which brings a surprising innovation. The Flash Setting mode included in the collection’s new GMT model uses a smartphone flashlight to set the time zone. This intelligent module remains operational in all circumstances, no electronic emissions needed. The guiding philosophy is to place new technology at the service of the watch, rather than the other way around.
