Where are we going?
Skiing in the Alps may not be what it used to be—though try telling that to the elite racers who will be schussing down the pistes of Saalbach, Austria, in the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships (February 4–16), a biennial event second in importance only to the Olympics. Salzburg is nearby; stay at the new Rosewood Schloss Fuschl to be spoiled like a Habsburg.
What are we wearing?
Precision timekeeping has been in the Longines DNA since 1878, when the company introduced a chronograph so good it became indispensable for sporting events. In 1913 the brand put that mechanism in a wristwatch for the first time. That focus on accuracy extends to the entire Longines fleet, including the Conquest, a house classic since 1954. Yes, you can trust it to get you to gold.
