Longines Heritage L4.754.4.52.4 Column-Wheel Chronograph Watch

Longines Heritage L4.754.4.52.4 Column-Wheel Chronograph Watch

As we all know already Longines Heritage Column-Wheel Chronograph Watch is part of Longine’s history in watchmaking innovation. Especially for chronographs. In fact, back in 1878, the company produced the world’s first column-wheel chronograph. Several decades later Longines also patented the flyback chronograph. And, today the Brand still produces several more notable mechanical chronographs.

Furthermore, Longines developed the column-wheel actuator to syncronize properly the various levers. And with this, the feature wouldn’t let the user make this mistake. Today the column-wheel Chronographs actuators become components found in many high-end chronograph movements. Nevertheless, the complexity in manufacturing these mechanisms gave rise to the more cam-actuated, and also coulisse-lever chronographs. In fact, all these features can be seen as part of many popular chronograph movements powered by the Valjoux 7750.

For this reason, these watches offer more than just an interesting mechanism. Their design also becomes a versatile confluence of mid-century dress watches. Moreover, their design is reminiscent of the typical chronograph watches used for various races. But in case someone wants to buy a chronograph with quality column-wheel, this watch offers more than the price.

The Movement –  Longines Caliber L688

Additionally, Longines started to add the Column-Wheel Chronograph to its Heritage Collection in 2011. Thus to commemorate this technological achievement. As a matter of fact, they placed Longines caliber L688 behind a vintage-inspired dial and case.
