Introduction<\/h2>\n

2024 marks a relevant anniversary at Longines<\/strong>; one of the brand\u2019s long-established collections, the Conquest, turns seventy, and the new\u00a0Conquest Heritage Power Reserve<\/strong> breaks cover worldwide.<\/p>\n

The brand took the curtain off the new collection during a press media event starring Giuseppe Miccio, Head of Product and Development<\/strong>, who guided us through product concept and development; we sat down with him, and our video interview will soon appear.<\/p>\n

Seventy years in the making: the Longines Conquest<\/h2>\n

Introduced in 1954, the Longines Conquest ref.9001 was the first-ever Longines watch<\/strong> whose name was registered<\/strong> at Bern\u2019s Federal Office of Intellectual Property.<\/p>\n

The Conquest is one of Longines\u2019 most recognizable watches, a milestone to a milestone-setting brand<\/strong>, and has preserved its original look and feel.<\/p>\n

Then, it came the glorious Longines Conquest***<\/strong>, equally sized at 35 mm, five years later. The above is the legendary reference 9028, powered by the calibre 292, whose primary feat was a centrally-displayed power reserve<\/strong> via concentric, rotating discs; it is as simple and easy to read as it gets.<\/p>\n
