A feat that never ceases to fascinate several decades later. In the context of the celebration of this exploit, Juan-Carlos Capelli, Vice President of Longines and Head of International Marketing took the floor in front of selected guests in l\u2019Oiseau blanc in Paris and presented a numbered and limited 90 timepiece edition of its hour angle watch, which was designed in partnership with the famed aviator following his historic flight.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/LonginesLindbergh4.jpg\" alt=\"Charles Lindbergh in front of The Spirit of St. Louis\" \/><\/p>\n<p>New York, May 20, 1927, 7:52 a.m., the \u201cSpirit of St. Louis\u201d leaves Roosevelt Airport. Its destination: Le Bourget airport near Paris. At the controls: a young American pilot named Charles A. Lindbergh. Thirty-three and a half hours later, Lindbergh lands at Le Bourget after completing the first ever non-stop solo transatlantic flight. It was a historic feat. As official timekeeper for the World Air Sports Federation, Longines contributed to the homologation of this prowess by timing Lindbergh\u2019s flight and adding it to the list of aviation records.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/LonginesLindbergh3.jpg\" alt=\"Flight plan of Lindbergh\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Shortly thereafter, Charles Lindbergh contacted Longines to develop a watch designed to meet his aviator\u2019s needs. The Longines Hour Angle watch, a veritable icon in the history of the Swiss watchmaker was born. Designed by Lindbergh himself in partnership with Longines, this watch allows for accurate determination of the longitude during long-distance flights. As a result, pilots and navigators can find their geographic location quickly, efficiently and with great accuracy. This extraordinary timepiece was reissued by the brand in 2002 and it is still one of its iconic Heritage models.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/LonginesLindbergh2.jpg\" alt=\"Conception of the Longines Hour Angle watch\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/LonginesLindbergh5.jpg\" alt=\"The original Longines Hour Angle watch of Charles Lindbergh\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Today, Longines commemorates the 90th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh\u2019s amazing feat and of its timekeeping. During a special anniversary reception in l\u2019Oiseau Blanc with Catherine Maunoury, President of the l\u2019A\u00e9ro-Club de France and double world champion of aerobatics, and Colonel Jack Aalborg, from the US Embassy, Juan-Carlos Capelli, Vice President of Longines and Head of International Marketing reminded the audience of the links between Longines and Charles Lindbergh and presented a new edition of the legendary timepiece in a numbered series limited to 90 watches, The Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch 90th Anniversary. This exceptional titanium and steel timepiece is intended for those who are passionate about history, adventure and watchmaking.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/LonginesLindbergh1.jpg\" alt=\"The reissue of Charles Lindbergh's watch\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The understated brushed silver dial displays the time on a \u201crailtrack\u201d minute circle with painted Roman numerals, and features a 180\u00b0 scale for calculating the longitude. A galvanic black rotating central dial and a black PVD steel rotating bezel complete the system. Equally as impressive as the original timepiece, this model measures 47.5 mm, which makes it easier to read and manipulate in the dark and when subjected to the vibrations that were common to aircraft of the era. It will draw the attention of admirers when worn on the wrist of today\u2019s modern adventurers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1927, Charles Lindbergh entered the legend by making the first transatlantic solo flight nonstop.
