Saint-Imier is home to the Longines watch company, founded in 1832, which reissued the Very High Precision V.H.P. watch in 2017.
This term is not new in the life of the manufacturer, it was first introduced in 1984, but somehow it was forgotten and now it has been resurrected. The Conquest model family received this new quartz movement. The V.H.P. The most important part of a clockwork is the accuracy, which is allowed to vary by +/- 5 seconds per year. It is also considered very good among quartz watches.
It is very important to mention the GPD (Gear Position Detection) function, which monitors the position of the indicators. So, if an external impact or shock, possibly a magnetic field hits the watch and the pointers move, the GPD restores the pointers to their place with the help of stepper motors. The watch also has a perpetual calendar function. Three pointer movements were made in cases with diameters of 41 and 43 mm, while the chronograph (stopwatch) was made in 42 and 44 mm. 5 bar water resistance promises to be adequate for this sporty, elegant watch.
