A Masterful Reboot: Longines Offers New Master Collection with Moon-Phases
Longines established its Master Collection in 2005 and has been expanding it ever since, mostly with the “small complications” at which the venerable Saint-Imier-based brand excels. This year, Longines takes the series, which it considers one of its flagships (and not to be confused with another Longines collection, actually named Flagship), to the next level, with a new range of timepieces equipped with elegantly placed moon-phases and pointer date functions and powered by an all-new exclusive movement.

The new face of the Longines Master Collection is defined by its 6 o’clock subdial, which combines a moon-phase indication in its center with a 1-31 date scale around its border and a central pointer hand that indicates the current day. The leaf-shaped central hour and minutes hands display the time on either painted old-style Arabic or Roman numerals or applied indices while a thin, baton-shaped seconds hand ticks away the seconds on the 0-60 scale, combining Arabic numerals and indices, on the dial’s flange. Two of the dial options, in silvered white or lacquered black, have a barleycorn motif and painted numerals (Arabic on the former, Roman on the latter); the third is in bright blue with a sunray pattern and applied indices.
