I'm wearing the Minerva today...  

. . . and I hope that one day Minerva is resurrected so that watches like this can be made available again . . . cordially, Art

and thanks to you I can't use it without thinking of Jean Simmons...

Thanks for share with us these awesome pics. HAGWEE. emilio

beautiful watch, indeed. HAGWEE!. emilio

This one I picked up for my Girlfriend last weekend, but I may have to borrow it for this weekend....  

Cheers, Daniel...  

a great watch for the weekend and all the week, indeed... These JLC´s are nice and great watches. HAGWEE emilio

Have to get some work done before it's off to some serious crime fighting!...  

Cool Reverso and nice film reference. A

Thanks for sharing! This is my first time seeing a forum member post a wristshot of this JLC! Look forward to reading more of your posts! Cheers, Daos

I love the size of this Reverso. And to me this simple version is actually the strongest Reverso concept IMHO. GEO

Can't wait to learn more, Steve! Congrats! Cheers, Daos

hopefully the Longines master collection are the beginnings of their ressurrection from the ashes. it is sad to hear that Swatch intend to keep them as a slightly lower/cheaper range to Omega. its not something a brand as famous and historic as Longines d... 

I have enjoyed the watch and understand Longines wants to now raise their level. Good thing with all of the history. When I purchased this watch in Italy (live in CA, USA) I found it rather difficult to find as they were scarce, perhaps not quite so "mass... 

Thanks for sharing your Longines! I think Longines offers some very good values at this time. I am madly in love with my Legend Diver and I also like Longines' Heritage Conquest models (particularly the rose gold with black dial). Looking forward to readi... 

You must really enjoy your Longines Legend Diver??? I am seriously thinking of purchasing one rather soon. You recommend it then? Such a great looking watch. Thanks! Rick

Yes, I really do enjoy my Legend Diver. It sits very nicely on the wrist, the dial is legible, and generally the watch is faithful to the spirit of the original Longines diver on which it was modeled. Based on my ownership experience I'd recommend the wat...

LOVE it! Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Daos

Hi all A package was waiting for me last night when i got hom. A quick shot on a job site... Have a great weekend. Bill...  

. . . and boy, is he excited about his new Longines! Hmmm . . . what is the plural of "Longines"? There's a reason why I'm asking ;-) . . . mysteriously, Art

i nearly bought one the other day as it was bargain priced, but then i thought 'why buy it just because everyone else has bought one'. i like it, just as i like the Polaris models, but i dont have a big thing for divers watches other than those made in 64... 

. . . and I can see why you and Daos drew that conclusion from my cryptic remark about the plural of Longines, but there's an even more intriguing reason for vagueness . . . just wait until next week for Bill's wrist-shot post ;-) . . . cordially, Art

Art, you know i cant wait for anything. i'm too impatient and obsessive :) i'll have to wait this time i suppose :( best Graham

...of the Legend Diver! Love it, Bill! Congrats, and may you enjoy your new beauty as much as I do mine! Cheers, Daos No mistake here!...

And a perfect strap!. The combo looks perfect! HAGWEE. emilio

trust me. Leave the preconceptions at the door and walk into a Montblanc boutique with your Loupe. Heck bring your Patek and Lange in with you for comparison. You'll be very pleasantly surprised at the level they've achieved. It wears solid on the wrist H...  

. . . based on my single experience with recent Minervas (circa 2005) . . . outstanding finish quality, imho . . . cordially, Art

leaving just the centre second and outer index as the main focus. i hope that was the effect they wanted to achieve as i cant think of any other way of describing it. best Graham

I love the little touches of red at the 15s. Any chance for a shot from the rear of the watch? You know I have great respect for what Montblanc is doing at this time. Hey -- I even posted a picture of my dream Montblanc in the Father's Day contest the oth...

Strong and powerful watch. HAGWEE. emilio

Always great to share common interests with friends, even those spread around to world. Nice wrist shot and that Speedmaster is looking great. Andrew

Fun Friday wristshot, Graham! I look forward to seeing Ginger's holiday photos. I love that this forum has brought people together, despite their living across an ocean. I wish I could be teleported to London on the 29th to see you and everyone else (espe... 

Hey Daos, you live 10 hours away, its your birthday so your family will want you all to themselves. i still see no reason you cant attend the GTG in London :) love and kisses for your birthday( i say that to all the girls ) Me

Thanks for the early birthday wishes! Unfortunately, my family lives 5 hours by plane from me, so my birthday is always a celebration with friends, but it is fun nevertheless. I look forward to hearing all about the Euro GTG! Cheers, Daos

and the pic show us all it´s splendor. HAGWEE. emilio

. . . snaps of all my watches except this one. I'll try again at dusk sometime soon to see if nature's lightbox helps matters any . . . cordially, Art

The sculptural lines of the hour markers, the crosshair textured dial, the color combo of black dial and pink gold indices...pure poetry! Cheers, Daos

. . . until next week for the unveiling . . . with anticipation, Art

Hi Art, You won’t have to wait long for more information. As usual I enjoyed delving into the history of the watch and have posted some details on HoMe. The interesting thing about the “Ultra-Chron” seems to be that it was competing directly with the new-...  

Andrew, as i understand it, the Ultra-Chron was produced to compete with the Constellation being adjusted to 4 positions. it was effectively the top of the line for longines. i could be totally wrong of course. best Graham

Hi Graham, Thanks for that information. I haven’t read that specifically, but the Ultra-Chron would be a nice companion piece to the Constellations if it were true. From the Longines Website: “… in 1967, Longines developed a 11 ½-li...
