Longines 1942 Heritage Chronograph

Longines is launching various new models this year to to mark its 180th anniversary and

 this 1942 Heritage Chronograph was directly inspired by a model dating from 1942 which was

 fitted with calibre 13ZN. This new timepiece has a circular steel case with a diameter of 

40mm and an automatic mechanical column-wheel chronograph movement designed 

exclusively for Longines (ETA). Vintage style round pushers are consistent with timepieces

 from the 1940s. The lacquered dial is available in white or black.  

Ralph Lauren Slim Classique Watch

For 2012, Ralph Lauren presents two new interpretations in its Slim Classique collection, 

featuring the luxuriously embellished cases. The first model places a single row of brilliant-cut 

diamonds on the bezel, set off by a glossy black frame that emphasizes the rectilinear form 

of the watch. On the second watch, two rows of diamonds make the bezel sparkle.

 Diamonds have also been set into the lugs, and a single rosecut diamond adorns the crown.

 As with models of prior years, both versions feature traditionally crafted silver opaline 

dials, with domed and strongly defined black Roman and Arabic numerals.

 Presented in 18k white gold, these models are fitted on a black alligator strap and matching 

white gold pinbuckle, and both are executed in the resolutely classic 27.5mm width, respecting 

the traditionaldimensionsof an iconic dress watch. As with the other Slim Classique 

collection models these new pieces are powered by an ultra-flat hand-winding 

movement crafted by Piaget for Ralph Lauren.
