Special features of Longines chronographs

Longines made history with chronographs that revolutionized timekeeping. Made in 1879, the 13.33ZZ and 13ZN calibers are two of the most famous chronograph movements Longines ever made. These watches had a complicated mechanism for measuring elapsed minutes, seconds and hours - something that was unheard of at the time. They were very precise and accurate. The clever design and innovative features established the Longines Chronograph as one of the most reliable watches ever made.
