As vibrant spirits of unity soar to celebrate Malaysia’s 67th Independence Day, Longines proudly presents its timelessly elegant Hydroconquest GMT and Longines Spirit Sulu Time to mark this special occasion.
With Malaysia celebrating its 67th year of independence this year, Longines presents the HydroConquest GMT and Longines Spirit Zulu Time in titanium that will uplift both your spirit and style for Independence Day.
To mark this special occasion, Longines presents a series of images of the timepieces taken against the backdrop of Malaysia’s iconic buildings. Featuring the Sultan Abdul Samad Building and the world’s tallest twin towers, it showcases Malaysia’s rich history while demonstrating its architectural diversity and innovation.
The Sultan Abdul Samad Building, located at Independence Square, is a place that bears historical value to all Malaysians, where a 100m high flagpole stands erect. The flagpole, the world’s tallest, was erected at the very spot where the Malaysian flag was hoisted, marking the nation’s freedom on 31st August 1957.
As for the Twin Towers, they are the pride of Malaysia, with stories dating all the way back to the beginning of Kuala Lumpur, which became the capital of Malaysia in 1957. It symbolises the nation’s rise on the global stage, a visual representation of what can be achieved with determination and a touch of architectural brilliance. The majestic skyscrapers are a soaring symbol of Malaysia’s progress, innovation, and vision for the future.
Sporting bold style and outstanding functionality, the stunning elegance of the HydroConquest GMT and Longines Spirit Zulu Time watches are the perfect companions for this special occasion.
