Longines - Ultra-Quartz: Kybernetik in Gold, Rare & Important
We are proud to offer Electronic Limbo-Kybernetik: Longines Ultra-Quartz.
WHY WE LOVE IT? Because it is a) one of the loudest watches (humming at 170Hz); b) the first kybernetik watch (feedback by sensors and self-correcting); c) the first watch that makes use of quartz (although not a quartzwatch in the common sense) and it does so at an unusual rate of 9'350Hz; d) yes, and overall it is the quirkiest movement of all time with its hand-soldered discrete elements of numerous resistors, transistors and capacistors; e) an idea so far ahead of its time (and technological feasibility) like no other.
Next to these five outstanding reasons to at least like -- better love it -- it comes with a sweeping seconds-hand that limbos below the sculptural hour-indexes: crazy in love.
