Swiss luxury watchmaker Longines recently captivated horology enthusiasts in Kochi with an exclusive showcase of its iconic HydroConquest diving and sports watch collection. The private exhibition, held at the Cochin Yacht Club, was organised by WatchTime India, the country's premier luxury watch magazine, in association with leading luxury watch retailer Zimson Watches. Notably, this marked the very first time the club has hosted a watch exhibition.
Set against the scenic waterfront of the Cochin Yacht Club, the event drew an exclusive gathering of club members, avid watch collectors, and lifestyle connoisseurs eager to explore the sophisticated craftsmanship of the Longines HydroConquest series.
A tribute to the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games
The undisputed star of the exhibition was the Longines HydroConquest 2026 Commonwealth Games Edition, a highly anticipated limited-edition timepiece. Created to celebrate Longines’ prestigious role as the official partner and timekeeper of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, this watch drew immense admiration from guests. The timepiece is inspired by the event's official logo, showcasing a striking teal gradient dial, the "HydroConquest" name inscribed in vibrant violet, and a distinctive pink-tipped seconds hand that lends a playful yet sporty elegance to its robust build.
Celebrating Swiss horological heritage
Beyond the limited-edition model, the exhibition offered guests an intimate look at the rich watchmaking heritage, contemporary design language, and high-performance dive functionality that Longines is celebrated for globally. It served as a perfect platform for Kochi’s elite watch community to connect, share their passion for horology, and experience the timeless precision of Swiss engineering up close.
