Best Longines Conquest For Men & Women

by Goh Wei Tjin

The Longines Conquest Collection was first launched more than 50 years ago as part of the brand’s new product development strategy. This collection has since then produced many sophisticated models in various designs and complications.

Founded by Auguste Agassiz in 1832, Longines is a Swiss watch that has a long history in watchmaking. Its iconic winged hourglass logo, which was registered in 1889, is the oldest, unchanged, and still active registered trademark. To this date, Longines has maintained its promise of delivering the finest timepieces which embody the brand’s spirit of dedication and craftsmanship.

One of its popular collections, the Longines Conquest is one of the three Conquest series, the other two being the Longines Conquest Classic and the Longines Conquest Heritage. Below, we focus on the Longines Conquest — the brand’s first-ever assortment of high-end watches. Here are a few of our favourites.
