Longines Dives In The Deep End
The Hydroconquest Ceramic Launch Saw A Heavenly King In Attendance
Longines shone the spotlight on its Hydroconquest collection during a special event held in Singapore. Introducing the iconic sports line’s newest models, which feature a colored ceramic insert on the bezel, the event was attended by Longines Ambassador of Elegance Aaron Kwok, and took place on the rooftop of The Fullerton Bay
Hotel, a magnificent setting that perfectly accentuated the Hydroconquest collection’s aquatic spirit.
Drawing its inspiration from the fascinating world of water sports, the collection combines technical excellence and traditional elegance, both distinguishing hallmarks of Longines. The rooftop of The Fullerton Bay Hotel in Singapore, with its breathtaking views of the sea and the famous Marina Bay Sands Hotel, was the ideal location to present the emblematic sports line’s new models, which preserve the traditional style of diving watches.
Featuring a coloured ceramic insert added to the bezel, this highly
technical and scratch-resistant material enhances the sporty, modern character of the watches. The Hydroconquest collection is inspired by the unique requirements of scuba diving and features water-resistance to 300 metres, a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screwdown crown and case back, crown protection and a double security folding clasp with integrated diving extension.
“The demand for sports watches, and especially for diving style watches, has increased significantly these past few years,” explains Walter von Känel, President of Longines. “We are delighted to introduce our new Hydroconquest models with ceramic, as these watches will appeal to dynamic individuals looking for distinctive, contemporary timepieces.”
After making an appearance at the opening of the new Longines Boutique in Marina Bay Sands, Longines Ambassador of Elegance Aaron Kwok attended the Hydroconquest event. The multi-talented artist shared his opinion of the new Hydroconquest models. “As a watch lover, I really appreciate the bezel’s ceramic insert. These watches have a sporty silhouette and an elegant style, making them suitable for daily wear and appropriate for all occasions. The new Hydroconquest models’ fresh look complements all attire.”
