Lately when we?ve looked at Longines, we?ve primarily been focused on their ability to raid their own back catalog for inspiration, creating some of the best bang-for-buck vintage reissues on the market right now. Longines is a brand with a deep archive of great designs that spans decades, and they?ve really carved out a niche among enthusiasts in recent years by pulling off some really wonderful versions of watches from their past. Today, we?re looking at something a bit different from Longines. These watches are still very much inspired by historical designs (and people) but instead of reproducing specific watches, this new collection is an entirely new set of classic, vintage inspired sports watches. Let?s take a look at the first watches in the all new Spirit collection.
