I am a sucker for a classic chronograph - and Longines has two chronographs from their Heritage collection that caught my eye this morning. Column wheel chronographs power both of these beautiful pieces, so let's be clear, this is not just your run of the mill "homage" piece - dressed up to look vintage!
