It was registered by the house, which declares its first commercial use on 30 June 1987. Here it appears on the back and not on the dial, which is the usual practice for this generation: the caseback bears the designation, the hallmarks, the serial number and the reference.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the winged hourglass on the dial?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the Longines emblem, an hourglass fitted with two wings, which the house has placed on its dials and engraved on its movements since the end of the 19th century. Here it accompanies the signature below 12 o'clock, and serves as much as a hallmark as an identifying feature for those who know the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the watch have only two hands?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a design choice typical of dress watches: without a seconds hand or date window, the dial remains still and can be read at a glance. Nothing turns constantly, nothing shifts at the end of the month. This restraint is also what allows the thinness of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a gold-plated case require precautions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, more than steel. The plating is a layer of gold applied to a base metal: it wears at friction points, mainly the edges of the bezel and the back. It is preserved by avoiding water, household products and cosmetics, and is cleaned with a soft, dry cloth, never with an abrasive or polishing paste, which remove the layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slim or large wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 31.5mm wide, 37.5mm Lug-to-lug and 5.5mm thick, it suits wrists of about 15 to 19cm — a guide, never a rule: everyone wears what they like. A cushion case occupies visually a little more space than a round case of the same size, and its thinness makes it disappear under a sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Que signifie Les Grandes Classiques gravé au fond de boîte ?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"C'est une appellation de ligne employée par Longines pour ses montres habillées.
