We\\u2019re back with another episode of Fratello On Air. This time, Balazs and Mike discuss Longines. This is an episode where we cover some of our favorite models and play an interview that RJ had with Giuseppe Maccio, the head of product at Longines. Enjoy it!

It\\u2019s been a couple of weeks since Balazs and Mike have come together due to travel and life in general. Here they are, though, talking about one of the most iconic brands in history: Longines.

Handgelenks Kontrolle

Before coming to Longines, it\\u2019s time to hit the Handgelenks Kontrolle. Mike goes first with the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925 and brings a twist. He has chosen to add the Forstner Model J and the results are positive. Balazs shares his Angelus 215 that has been on a weeklong trip to Switzerland. Good for him for wearing this classic on the road!

Longines

We then move onto some news which is actually specific to Longines. The new Ultra-Chron debuted as a 43mm diver with a 36,000vph automatic movement. This is an impressive watch and we like the brand\\u2019s direction. Then, we move onto the main topic and begin to name our favorite pieces. We discuss the:

\\u2022 Admiral, an interesting early \\u201870s collection that reminds us of the Omega Dynamic
\\u2022 The Big Indian ref 6111 \\u2013 an amazing \\u201850s military piece that weighs in at a daunting 44mm

We then cut to the interview between RJ and Giuseppe. Then, it\\u2019s back to a couple more of our favorites.

\\u2022 The Nonius Chronograph with the Valjoux 72
\\u2022 Finally, the Weems watches with their innovative bezels used for flight navigation

We hope you enjoyed this episode on Longines. Thanks for listening and if you have ideas for future shows, feel free to let us know!
