Ski Your Way To A New Watch
Filed under: Timepieces
I'm not saying you're wasting time at your desk but if you just happen to have a wee bit of free time on those long, slow days before Christmas check out the Longines Ski Challenge. It's a neat little skiing computer game in which you can try your luck on some of the world's best and most attractive downhill courses. Ski Lauberhorn, Streif or Saslong - all the courses are modeled 1:1 on the original pistes. And the best part is that Longines will reward the best competitors. Top prizes include 12 Longines HydroConquest diving watches..jpg)
Longines is showing off four main models at
BaselWorld. Longines isn't one of the companies that produces intricate whirling tourbillons, massive bulky bolted
watches, or gem-heavy dazzlers, instead they specialize in classic and refined looks. The first are the latest
incarnations of their Les Elegantes line, a look back at the delicate Art Deco watches of the 1920s and 30s. This year
they are using three designs inspired by their collections dated from 1928 and 1931.
