Symbolised by a winged hourglass, the Longines brand has accompanied aviation pioneers during their greatest exploits. In associating its name with those of men and women who have dared the impossible, Longines proves its attachment to the exceptional and to excellence. Before Lindbergh and his Hour Angle Watch came captain Philip van Horn Weems, who developed the ingenious “Weems System of Navigation”. Today, 80 years later, the winged hourglass brand commemorates this fundamental invention and pays homage to its creator by presenting The Longines Weems Second-Setting Watch, a mechanical watch fitted with a rotating center dial.
