The Longines trilogy

A couple of weekends ago we were down South celebrating Easter with the family.

We walked along ‘Sandbanks’ from the main car park to the chain ferry – where a few decades ago Dad had so confidently showed Sam and I how to dismount from a trampoline. It didn’t end well, at all. Unfortunately, he landed slap bang in the corner between the rubber bungees and metal surround – ouch! The outcome then was some very sore ribs, a bruised ego and an indelible moment in the family’s history.

On this occasion we wrote a happier chapter, but no less memorable than the trampoline incident!

A Classic Surprise

We finished our walk and headed for ‘The Anchorage’ – a restaurant high on the hill overlooking Poole Harbour – for a delicious meal. As planned, during the proceedings we had a little surprise

Dad, along with Sam, Chris and I presented Freddie with his 21st birthday gift – a Longines Master Automatic Men’s Watch. A classic and it looks stunning on his wrist too!

This watch completes three generations of Herd family members owning a Longines timepiece in their 21st year – starting with Dad in 1956, myself in 1989 and now Freddie in 2023.

A Special Moment

A beautiful example of how a product – that stands for tradition, precision and elegance – can become part of our family’s history and a reminder of special moments and cherished memories.

Unforgettable Unboxing

The moment of unboxing this luxurious product was unforgettable for us all as we witnessed the start of a new legacy. An enduring bond between family, the timeless tradition of craftsmanship and the value of heritage.

As consumers, we are drawn to products that evoke emotions and create memorable experiences. If we especially enjoyed the unboxing experience, we will remember the brand, those around us and the great feeling that it gave us. Subconsciously, we will then automatically think of that moment, that product, that feeling, as we search for other opportunities in the future to surprise family, friends, clients or staff with a thoughtful gift and an unboxing experience to match.
