With the GrandeVitesse line, Longines has sought to give material form to the concept of speed through a series of models honouring the memory of the fastest men in history and destined for bold sportsmen of today. Fluid lines, aerodynamic curves, energy-filled typography, tachymeter and the form of the pushers are just some of the distinctive signs of this watch made for speed. It is inspired by the world of automobile and motor sports, for which Longines for years provided the timekeeping.

It is in the nature of man to wish to attain ever faster speeds. Records are made to be beaten, pushing back physical limits each time in the same way as the demands made on the equipment for measuring them become increasingly severe. In the field of timing, Longines can boast a long experience, marked by fundamental technological advances enabling time to be divided into increasingly small fractions of a second, but also by famous speed records, such as that of Donald Campbell with his Bluebird, who in 1964 became the fastest man on earth at a speed of 648 km/h.

With the models of the GrandeVitesse series, the notion of speed becomes truly tangible. Their technical and aesthetic characteristics are such as to raise them to the stature of instruments for timing records. Each has a Æ 42 mm case in stainless steel, the aerodynamic curves and harmonious outline of which evoke both performance and elegance.
