WatchTime India and Zimson Watches partner to showcase Longines HydroConquest collection in Kochi

The event was held at Cochin Yatch Club
WatchTime India recently partnered with Zimson Watches to bring the Longines HydroConquest collection to the Cochin Yacht Club, marking the first-ever watch showcase hosted at the exclusive members-only club. Set against the club’s distinctive maritime setting, the evening brought together watch enthusiasts, collectors, and members for an intimate exploration of Longines’ celebrated dive-watch collection.

The event offered guests an opportunity to discover the HydroConquest range up close, with its combination of Longines’ watchmaking heritage, contemporary design and dive-inspired functionality taking centre stage. Along with that, the evening also displayed the Longines HydroConquest 2026 Commonwealth Games Edition, a special limited-edition timepiece created to celebrate Longines’ role as the Official Timekeeper and Partner of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. Drawing inspiration from the official event logo, the watch stands out with a vibrant teal gradient dial, violet “HydroConquest” lettering and a distinctive pink-tipped seconds hand, giving the familiar dive-watch silhouette a distinctly contemporary character. The evening also created a platform for members to engage with fellow enthusiasts and explore the world of mechanical watchmaking. Here are some glimpses from the evening.
