Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Longines developed a distinguished reputation for producing highly accurate timing instruments, including some of the earliest and most respected chronographs in watchmaking history.\n\nInspired by early 20th-century medical chronographs, this exceptional timepiece features a pulsometer scale, a historic tool originally designed for physicians to measure a patient’s heart rate quickly and accurately. Today, the pulsometer remains a fascinating reminder of a time when mechanical watches served as essential professional instruments.\n\nAdding to its historical appeal is the mono-pusher chronograph configuration, a design closely associated with the earliest generations of wrist chronographs. Unlike conventional chronographs with separate start, stop, and reset pushers, a mono-pusher system allows all timing functions to be controlled through a single elegant actuator—preserving the purity, simplicity, and charm of traditional chronograph design.\n\nInside, the watch is powered by a refined column wheel chronograph movement, a feature cherished by collectors for its mechanical sophistication and smooth, precise operation. The column wheel represents one of the finest traditional solutions in chronograph engineering, reflecting Longines’ deep expertise in precision timing.\n\nWith its crisp white dial, blued steel hands, classic bi-compax layout, and vintage-inspired proportions, the Heritage Pulsometer Chronograph captures the spirit of early scientific and medical instruments while offering the reliability of modern Swiss watchmaking.\n\nFor the collector who appreciates history, craftsmanship, and mechanical character, the Longines Heritage Column Wheel Pulsometer Chronograph is far more than a timepiece—it is a continuation of Longines’ legacy as one of the pioneers of precision chronographs.","brand":"ESTATE - LONGINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51951250276673,"sku":"783-02950","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/6843\/3729\/files\/97f653ae9661c5d2b0354caea426dbac.png?v=1783534151","url":"https:\/\/harmonyjewellers.ca\/products\/longines-heritage-column-wheel-pulsometer-chronograph-l2-801-4-23-2-40mm-2022","provider":"Harmony Jewellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
