L2.742.8.76.2 Longines Heritage Column-Wheel Chronograph Watch

As we all know,  Longines possesses a storied history in watchmaking innovation, specifically for chronographs. In fact, back in 1878, the company produced the world’s first column-wheel chronograph. Moreover, several decades later Longines patented the flyback chronograph and also produce several more notable mechanical chronographs. 

Furthermore, Longines developed the column-wheel actuator that properly synchronized the various levers and wouldn’t let the user make this mistake. Thus, today the column-wheel actuators become components found in many high-end chronograph movements. Nevertheless, the complexity in manufacturing these movements gave rise to the more cam-actuated, or coulisse-lever chronographs that can be seen in many popular chronograph movements powered by the Valjoux 7750.

The Movement –  Longines Caliber L688.2

Additionally, Longines started to add the Column-Wheel Chronograph to its Heritage Collection in 2011 to commemorate this technological achievement. As a matter of fact, they placed Longines caliber L688.2 behind a vintage-inspired dial and case. For this reason, these watches not only does it offer an interesting movement, but its design becomes also a versatile confluence of mid-century dress watches coupled with racing chronographs design. Notably also, if someone is looking to purchase a quality column-wheel chronograph this watch gives you more than it’s price.
