Swiss watchmaker Longines has unveiled its Conquest VHP GMT Flash Setting, the latest design made for frequent travelers, at the Lanterna di Fuksas in Rome, Italy.
Besides the user-friendly functions including ultraprecision of +/- 5 seconds a year, ‘Gear Position Detection’ system that resets the hands after an impact or magnetic field exposure, smart crown, long battery life, and perpetual calendar that extends to 2399, the new Conquest VHP GMT Flash Setting is equipped with a second time zone and a light-driven management system, known as ‘Flash Setting’.
The new timepiece can be easily set manually using the crown, or through its innovative ‘Flash Setting’ function. The system relies on the user’s smartphone and dedicated application but requires no external connection such as WiFi or Bluetooth. The information recorded in the application is transmitted via light sequences emitted by the smartphone’s flash to a tiny opening on the watch dial.
