In this informative video, Watchonista’s Ash Longet presents an intriguing look at how aviation changed the very concept of time-telling and Longines’ significant heritage of not only responding to these changes but driving them.
From the early necessity of creating shared global standards like GMT/Zulu Time and UTC time coding, culminating in the sophisticated, but still cockpit-authentic, glories of the Longines Zulu Time 1925 anniversary timepiece, you don’t have to be a pilot to appreciate this deep dive. Enjoy!
