A Man and His Longines
In the 1970s, a man who had spent much of his life in the shadow of the municipality proudly wore his Longines Automatic, reference 1593-4. This watch was not just an accessory; it was an expression of his character - robust, reliable, and steeped in a history deeply rooted in his past.
The Story of a Hardworking Soldierk
This man, a former soldier, was a true hard worker. After his military service, he joined the local municipality, but soon he found himself frustrated by the bureaucracy and inefficiency. Rumors circulated that he had once heard the toilets in the town hall were not properly cleaned. Angered by this negligence, he decided to take matters into his own hands. He cleaned the toilets himself and brought the contents to the steps of the town hall as a protest against the lack of accountability.
Protest and Personality
The watch he wore, with its signs of wear and the marks of a life filled with labor, perfectly matched his rugged character. The silvered dial reflected not only his taste but also the simplicity and elegance of the 1970s - a time when hard work was still valued. Despite his rough edges, he had a deep respect for craftsmanship, something that only enhanced his love for this Longines watch.
His friends and colleagues still remember the man with the Longines, who took the time to show that even in the most challenging situations, integrity and honesty are always the right path. The watch, now a tribute to his life, remains a symbol of strength and perseverance, and it is a valuable heirloom that continues to tell his story, even years later.
