How long can gold keep heating up?

  Recently, the gold market has started a rising mode, and gold futures and spot prices have hit record highs. Since March, the international gold price has increased by more than 6% in less than 10 trading days. As an interest-free asset, why did the price of gold rise strongly? How long can the "gold fever" last in the future? The reporter conducted an interview.

  International and domestic gold prices rose collectively.

  "After the price of gold fluctuated and rose in 2023, most of the market expected that it would hit a new high in 2024, but it was generally expected to be around the middle of the year. I didn’t expect it to come so fast." Referring to the recent strong rally in the gold market, gold market analyst Cheng Wei told reporters.

  Since March, gold futures in new york market once stood above $2,200 per ounce. By mid-day trading on the 12th, new york gold futures were still hovering around $2,190 per ounce, with a cumulative increase of more than 6% in less than 10 trading days. Driven by this, the price of gold denominated in RMB also rose strongly. AU99.99, which is active in spot gold trading in Shanghai Gold Exchange, and the main contract of gold futures in Shanghai Futures Exchange both rose to about 508 yuan per gram, and the market increased by more than 5% in the same period.

  In the terminal market, the quotation of gold jewelry in most gold shops is above 650 yuan per gram, and the quotation of investment gold bars is above 520 yuan per gram. On March 11th, the reporter saw in many gold shops in Shanghai that consumers’ enthusiasm for gold was still high. Wang Ling, a consumer, told reporters that the plan to buy gold ornaments for the elderly in the second half of the year was advanced after seeing the recent rapid rise in the price of gold.

  It is worth noting that with the strong rise of gold price, the market disputes about the time of buying and selling again, and some investors who bought at a lower cost in the early stage also chose to sell at a high point to "realize".

  Why did the price of gold rise strongly?

  Why did the price of gold rise strongly at the beginning of the year? "This year, the gold market seems to be replicating the market performance in early 2023." Cheng Wei believes that at the beginning of 2023, the depreciation of the US dollar and a series of risk events such as the bankruptcy of Silicon Valley banks have become the main driving factors for the rise of gold prices. Recently, the expectation of monetary policy shift in Europe and the United States and the continued geopolitical risk concerns have become the main driving factors.

  "The recent rise in gold prices, on the one hand, is that the Fed’s interest rate cut expectation continues to heat up, on the other hand, the demand for physical consumption is strong, which also makes gold assets perform better than other assets." Lu Weijia, trading director of Hershey Precious Metals in China, believes that some economic data in the United States have slowed down investors’ worries about inflation, and the market’s bet on interest rate cuts has warmed up again. Although the gold held by SPDR, the world’s largest gold ETF fund, has declined, the increase in holdings by the central banks of China and Turkey has made up for the outflow of the market, and the strong consumption of gold during the Spring Festival in China may continue to increase.

  However, some analysts also pointed out that the current gold price has been included in the interest rate cut expectations of some European and American central banks, and investors still need to be cautious in chasing up. "From the perspective of driving factors, hedging is another important factor driving the rise of gold prices." Cheng Wei believes that geopolitical events have driven the market’s risk aversion, but the impact of geopolitical events on the market is often short-lived.

  High-level "speculation" needs to be cautious.

  Every time the gold market rises sharply, there will always be a large number of "swarming" entrants in the domestic market, and this time is no exception. On social media platforms such as Xiaohongshu and Weibo, a large number of young consumers share their experiences in selecting, matching and purchasing, which further drives young people to recognize the consumption of gold ornaments and the investment in gold bars.

  Experts in the industry believe that investment still needs to be rational, especially when the price of gold is relatively high, and participation in the gold market should be based on "stability". At present, there are many gold investment tools that domestic investors can choose, including high-risk and high-yield gold spot and futures trading, and its leveraged trading characteristics make investors face greater fluctuation gains and losses than market conditions; There are also precious metal wallets, physical gold bars, ETF funds and gold wealth management products launched by financial institutions. Investors should choose investment channels suitable for their own needs.

  "For ordinary investors, investing in the gold market should be more based on long-term investment." According to experts in the gold market, such as Jiang Shu, historically, the price of gold and other assets such as stocks fluctuates in the same direction, so overseas investors often invest a fixed proportion of assets in gold, on the one hand, to play the role of maintaining the value of gold, on the other hand, they can also use the fluctuation characteristics of gold and other assets to stabilize the income of the entire portfolio.

  For high-risk and high-yield investments, the timing of buying and selling is the key, and most investors need to "do more homework" to grasp the "golden opportunity". Industry experts also pointed out that although the recent rapid rise in the gold market has raised investors’ expectations, the risk of high market level needs to be vigilant. "In the short term, the gold market has been overdrawn for some time to come. Once the market expectation is repaired, the price of gold is likely to fall back quickly."

China’s first English proficiency assessment standard was released.

  On December 16, 2017, candidates waited and prepared for the exam outside the CET-4 and CET-6 test center of Shandong Liaocheng University. Photo by Gu Hetian Qi/Bright Picture/vision china

  On April 12th, the China English Proficiency Scale (hereinafter referred to as the Scale), the first English proficiency assessment standard for Chinese English learners, was issued by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission and officially implemented on June 1st, 2018.

  Three sections and nine grades: building a multi-level ability index system

  Guided by the use of language, the scale divides the English proficiency of Chinese English learners from low to high into three stages: foundation, improvement and proficiency, with nine levels, and gives a comprehensive, clear and informative description of the ability characteristics of each level.

  According to Jiang Gang, director of the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, in order to make the scale conform to China’s national conditions and teaching conditions, the determination of three sections and nine grades is based on the results of empirical research on 160,000 teachers and students in 28 provinces, more than 1,500 schools across the country, with reference to the existing curriculum standards, syllabus and examination syllabus, as well as the analysis of social needs.

  There are 86 competency tables in the scale, including 1 language proficiency table, 8 sub-skill tables, 8 self-evaluation tables and 69 sub-skill tables. The reporter saw that the competency matrix includes the language competency matrix, as well as the skills matrix in eight aspects: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, oral expression, written expression, structural ability, pragmatic ability, interpretation ability and translation ability. Among them, the translation and interpretation proficiency scale fills the gap that the language proficiency scale at home and abroad has not included translation competence.

  When explaining this multi-level ability index system, Liu Jianda, vice president of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and a member of the expert group on the construction of foreign language ability evaluation system, said: "The scale describes the continuous state of English ability, and every English learner and user can find their own position." The scale is described in a "can do" way. For example, the language proficiency summary describes "level 1" as "being able to understand simple language materials that are very familiar in daily life, identify basic information about related activities or things around you, and understand the meaning of basic words. You can communicate with others in basic and short words, greet each other, introduce or describe each other, state the basic information of things around you, and show your attitude, sometimes with the help of non-verbal means such as repetition or gestures and expressions. "

  Wang Shouren, a professor at Nanjing University and chairman of the College Foreign Language Teaching Steering Committee of the Ministry of Education, said: "The formulation of the scale has the characteristics of foundation, guidance and integration."

  "Equal Quantity and Balance": Breaking Different Examination Barriers

  It is understood that there are the following problems in China’s current foreign language examinations: First, there are many existing foreign language examinations with different standards, the concept of examination level is unclear, and the scores of different examinations are incomparable, which is not conducive to users’ understanding and use, and is not conducive to promoting scientific talent selection. Second, the content of the examination is not comprehensive, and the positive orientation of the examination to foreign language teaching is insufficient. There is a lack of effective connection between the examinations of various academic periods, and there are cases of repeated contents or broken files. These are not conducive to promoting the coherent and orderly development of teaching, and are not conducive to the improvement of teaching effectiveness. Third, the international recognition of foreign language examinations in China is not high, which is not conducive to improving the level of internationalization of education.

  "The goal of the foreign language proficiency assessment system is to change the situation that the existing examinations are incomplete, unsystematic and unconnected, and to establish a foreign language proficiency assessment standard and examination system with China characteristics, international standards and multiple functions, so as to better serve the scientific selection of talents, serve the development of foreign language education and teaching, and promote the improvement of students’ comprehensive foreign language ability." Jiang Gang said.

  As the core task of the construction of foreign language assessment system, the formulation of the scale aims at providing a scientific ability index system and an accurate ability scale for various English tests, giving play to the role of "balancing quantity with quantity", making the test design more comprehensive and systematic, making the test scores comparable, providing a basis for the communication and mutual recognition of different learning achievements, promoting the convergence of different learning segments and promoting the coherent and orderly development of foreign language education.

  In terms of English assessment, Han Baocheng, a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University and a member of the expert group on the construction of foreign language proficiency assessment system, commented: "The scale can improve the quality of exams, promote the docking and mutual recognition of domestic and foreign exams, and promote the development of multiple assessments." Specifically, it provides a scientific ability evaluation standard for the content design, test question system, marking and performance report of various examinations; Provide a unified yardstick for connecting and positioning domestic and foreign exams, enhance the comparability of exams, and promote the docking and mutual recognition of domestic and foreign exams; Provide competency reference standards for the process and summative evaluation methods of English teaching, and promote the development of multiple evaluations. "

  It is reported that the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education has signed an agreement with Britain and the United States to start the docking research between IELTS, TOEFL and China Scale.

  Complementarity and mutual promotion: docking teaching, learning and testing

  Then, what is the relationship between the scale and the curriculum standards and examination syllabus of basic education?

  Wang Shouren, who participated in the revision of English curriculum standards for basic education, explained: "The scale and curriculum standards go in the same direction and complement each other." The scale is highly consistent with the teaching requirements such as curriculum standards in improving students’ core literacy, and fully meets the teaching requirements of each period in terms of key language skills. Moreover, the descriptors of pragmatic ability and cognitive ability in the scale play a leading and guiding role in English teaching, that is, our English teaching should focus on cultivating students’ language application ability and learning ability. In terms of specific functions, the difference between the scale and the curriculum standard is that the curriculum standard is a teaching program formulated for a certain learning period, which puts forward prescriptive requirements for the teaching content; The scale is a reference standard for all kinds of learners, which mainly plays a role in testing the ability level in examination application.

  It is understood that the scale is not a syllabus or an examination syllabus, and its nine grades are not mandatory for students. At the same time, the scale can help language learners to self-diagnose their English ability, find out their strengths and weaknesses, and set learning goals in a targeted way, which is helpful to cultivate students’ autonomous learning ability and make foreign language learning more personalized.

  Jiang Gang said that how to apply the scale in the next teaching, learning and testing needs teachers and examiners to decide according to the specific situation. The Examination Center of the Ministry of Education is developing the National English Proficiency Test on the basis of the scale, which lays the foundation for reducing repeated tests and improving the system of the test. At present, it is mainly considered to cooperate with the strategy of cultivating high-quality talents and develop examinations for the higher education stage with strong social demand.

Wenjie brand delivered 12,700 vehicles in October, backed by Huawei, and Wenjie new M7 delivered 10,547 vehicles in October.

Some time ago, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of BG, and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, said that he was "far ahead", which pushed the industry to a hot search, and its popular model, the new M7, attracted the attention of many consumers. On, Huawei demonstrated its innovative play in the marketing market, customized a brand-new large-scale rights and interests worth 27,000 yuan for the new M7, and added the guarantee of delayed delivery subsidy of 200 yuan/day. This strategy with both benefits and guarantees was once again sought after by the market, and the cumulative amount of large-scale orders was directly pulled to 80,000 in 50 days! It also brings new enlightenment to the marketing market!

Traditional marketing methods often only focus on welfare, but Huawei’s new M7 combines welfare and security to meet consumers’ needs and desires and bring consumers a brand-new experience. From the perspective of happiness, the rights and interests of Dading are as follows:

1. Equity time

November 1, 2023-November 30, 2023

2. Details of rights and interests:

① interior and exterior decoration matching gold worth 12,000 yuan;

② Matching rights and interests worth 15,000 yuan.

·Max smart driving version owners can deduct the optional ADS2.0 urban pilot NCA function by equal amount;

The owner of the ·Plus rear-drive version can choose a technology enjoyment package worth 15,000 yuan in equal amount;

Car owners of all models can also choose a combination of rights and interests with a value of 15,000 yuan (21-inch wheels with a value of 10,000 yuan and one of the original aftermarket products).

At the same time, the new M7 car-picking care plan will continue to "accompany": for the new M7 users who have completed the big payment before November 30, 2023, the order status on AITO App will start from the date when the delivery plan has been confirmed to the date when the vehicle has arrived at the store. If the waiting period in the following table is exceeded, the number of days will be exceeded (the date when the vehicle has arrived at the store-the date when the delivery plan has been confirmed-the waiting period) The standard of overdue subsidy is 200 yuan/day, up to 10,000 yuan.

At the same time, the new M7 has not been idle. At present, the new M7 version of Zhijie has completed the OTA upgrade, supporting the functions of high-speed NCA and urban LCC. On high-speed and elevated roads, vehicles can follow the navigation to their destinations, and consciously identify the signal lights to assist in controlling the normal driving of vehicles, intelligent lane change, intelligent speed limit, etc., which greatly liberates drivers from manipulating people. It can also show its talents in urban roads, cruise at a fixed speed, follow the car, cross corners, etc. in the traffic flow, and it can also realize automatic avoidance in and out of the lane, greatly improving driving safety and happiness. It is worth mentioning that Huawei also uses technology to make parking more self-free. Because of the launch of the custom parking function, users can drag and drop vehicle icons on the ground where parking is allowed but not marked. A temporary parking space is supported with the narrowest width of +0.4m, and there is no need to ask an old driver for parking.

The new M7 provides consumers with a more comprehensive car buying experience by combining welfare and security. Not only can you enjoy generous benefits, but you can also get subsidies for delayed delivery to ensure a smoother and more secure car purchase process. Under Huawei’s unique marketing model, the number of new M7 vehicles in Wenjie reached 80,000 within 50 days, which helped the brand to open higher. In October, all departments in Wenjie delivered 12,700 new vehicles! Among them, the delivery of new M7 bicycles in Wenjie exceeded 10,000, reaching 10,547, a record high! This fully proves consumers’ recognition and demand for products that combine welfare and security.

In addition to welfare and security, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of BG and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, set an example and personally came to the factory to supervise production and quality control. He also said: At present, all the employees of Celeste Smart Factory are making every effort to promote production. At the same time, they have invested more than 1 billion yuan in the whole supply chain, adding more than 20,000 people, and adding production shifts 22 hours a day to ensure that users can enjoy the smart driving life of the new M7 in the world as soon as possible.

Develop new marketing methods. Originally, I thought that Huawei was only far ahead in product strength. I didn’t expect that the big game was also a ride, and the slogan of "far ahead" was really not a shout. In addition, I would like to remind you that as of the end of the month, interested friends should pay close attention to it!

[Economic Interface]

Recently, the Ministry of Commerce and other nine departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of the Automobile Aftermarket" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), and put forward seven policy measures, including optimizing the circulation environment of automobile parts, promoting the upgrading of automobile maintenance services, and optimizing automobile consumption financial services.

The Opinions make it clear that by 2025, the scale of the automotive aftermarket will grow steadily, the market structure will be continuously optimized, and the standardization level will be significantly improved. The aftermarket will play a more prominent role in the automotive industry chain, value chain and innovation chain, and the application of new products and technologies will be more popular, the development of new formats and models will be more mature, the industry management system will be more perfect, and the automotive use environment will be continuously optimized to better meet the diversified automobile consumption needs of consumers.

"Automobile aftermarket" refers to a series of trading activities around various subsequent needs and services in the process of automobile after-sales use from sale to scrapping, involving many sub-sectors such as automobile maintenance, automobile maintenance, automobile supplies, automobile finance, used cars and car rental. At present, what is the development status of China’s automobile aftermarket? What are the opportunities and challenges? How to promote the high-quality development of automobile aftermarket? The reporter conducted an interview on this.

1. After the number of cars reached 330 million, the market consumption potential continued to be released.

"It is a very happy thing to own a car of my own. As a’ donkey friend’, I like go on road trip and enjoy the scenery along the way." Some time ago, Su Xiaoming, who works in a university in Beijing, bought a domestic car and shouted "Great experience".

Nowadays, as a mass consumer product, cars have already "flown into the homes of ordinary people".

By the end of September 2023, the number of motor vehicles in China had reached 430 million, including 330 million cars; There are 520 million motorists, including 480 million motorists. In the first three quarters of this year, 18.17 million vehicles were newly registered nationwide, up 4.4% year-on-year.

With the continuous increase of car ownership in China, the aftermarket formed around car use has become an important part of car consumption.

"The automotive aftermarket covers a wide range, including auto parts circulation, maintenance services, decoration and beauty, used car trading, as well as auto racing, auto culture, auto consumption financial services and other fields." Xu Haidong, deputy chief engineer of China Automobile Industry Association, said in an interview with this reporter that at present, the overall development of China’s automobile aftermarket is good, and relevant policy measures have provided strong support for it.

Judging from the second-hand car trading, in the first three quarters of this year, China’s second-hand car market remained active, and local public security traffic control departments handled a total of 25.05 million motor vehicle transfer registrations, including 23.31 million motor vehicle transfer registrations, accounting for 93.1%.

In addition, in recent years, automobile museums, automobile cinemas and other projects have sprung up everywhere, and colorful and diverse automobile cultural activities such as automobile theme exchange activities, theme exhibitions, fairs and carnivals have been actively carried out, further popularizing automobile cultural knowledge and creating a strong automobile cultural atmosphere. At the same time, some comprehensive automobile culture theme parks integrating automobile races, automobile services, outdoor leisure and parent-child activities have quickly become popular, and become online celebrity attractions for tourists from all over the world to "punch in".

Some camping enthusiasts drive to major camping camps, set up a tent, get close to nature and enjoy a leisurely and comfortable time.

At the same time, automobile racing activities are also getting more and more attention. According to reports, the China Society of Automotive Engineering has specially launched the Pure Electric Formula Car Competition for College Students, which not only helps to train talents of new energy vehicles, but also helps to open up a new path to the automotive aftermarket.

In view of new fields and new scenes, the Opinions proposes to build a multi-level automobile race pattern, accelerate the development of the traditional classic car industry, support the construction of camps such as self-driving caravans, and enrich the automobile cultural experience.

"Overall, the development prospects of China’s automotive aftermarket are improving." Xu Haidong believes that at present, although China’s automotive aftermarket is still dominated by the 4S shop model, third-party brand enterprises are accelerating their development, and Internet companies have also entered the market. With the increasing number of cars, the value of the automobile aftermarket will become more prominent.

Luo Lei, Assistant President of china automobile dealers association, said that in recent years, the scale of China’s automobile aftermarket has shown double-digit growth, and it is expected that the scale of China’s automobile aftermarket will continue to expand in the future. Stimulating the vitality of the automobile aftermarket has obvious effects on further promoting automobile consumption and stimulating economic growth.

2. The problem of "small, scattered and chaotic" still has industry pain points that need to be broken.

"Not long ago, I washed my car in a roadside shop. Not only was I repeatedly promoted to get a card, but I was even’ suggested’ to replace tires and other accessories. The routine was too deep." Wang Qingbin, a post-90 s car owner, said that the management level and service quality of some car wash shops and repair shops need to be improved, which failed the trust of consumers.

Like Wang Qingbin, many car owners have had similar experiences. While people enjoy the convenience and happiness brought by cars, they also have various troubles from time to time. At present, the supply system of auto parts is not perfect, the level of vehicle maintenance is uneven, and the financial procedures of automobile consumption are complicated. Some people spit out: "It is difficult to repair a car, but expensive to maintain it", "Services cut corners, and various fees are charged" …

Xu Haidong admits that at present, some consumers choose to maintain in automobile 4S shops, which is more expensive; There are also some consumers who choose to repair in "small, scattered and chaotic" roadside shops, and the quality is difficult to be guaranteed.

"The fundamental solution to these problems is to promote the high-quality development of the automotive aftermarket." Xue Xu, an associate professor at Peking University University of Economics, said that the service level and quality of the automobile aftermarket are directly related to the experiences and feelings of hundreds of millions of car owners and consumers, and are also an important link affecting automobile consumption.

Experts believe that with the rapid growth of car ownership, consumers’ demand for related services will be more diverse. For the automotive aftermarket, this is both a challenge and an opportunity. It is necessary to focus on the key areas and key links of the automobile aftermarket, focus on solving the outstanding problems faced in the development of the industry, tap the consumption potential of the automobile aftermarket according to local conditions, and enrich the products and services of the automobile aftermarket.

In this regard, the "Opinions" proposes to standardize the circulation order of automobile aftermarket parts, formulate and implement relevant standards for the circulation of automobile aftermarket parts, and create a transparent, orderly and efficient circulation environment for parts. Actively expand the distribution channels of auto parts, and build a multi-channel and multi-format auto parts distribution network to meet the diversified needs of consumers for auto aftermarket accessories. Guide automobile manufacturers to continuously improve the after-sales service network, strengthen personnel management training such as after-sales maintenance, and provide standardized and convenient vehicle maintenance services for car owners.

"The Opinions is the first guiding document issued by China for the automotive aftermarket, which plays a very important role in the development of the automotive aftermarket." Xu Haidong said that in the future, in addition to the automobile 4S shop system, some third-party automobile service enterprises will develop one after another, providing services with low prices and certain quality guarantee, which will form a benign complement with 4S shops, so that consumers can rest assured that they can consume and promote the automobile aftermarket. Achieve high-quality development.

3. Consumer demand is more diversified, and financial services are constantly optimized.

In October this year, Liu Yantao, a young man from Shandong, rented an off-road vehicle with several friends and traveled to Lhasa by car. "I didn’t expect that renting a car was so convenient. We were very lucky. We rented a new car and the rent was more cost-effective. We talked and laughed all the way and had a good time." Liu Yantao said.

In recent years, a large number of auto credit, leasing and insurance companies have developed rapidly, providing consumers with more competitive products and services.

At the same time, some consumers have reported that the service quality of related industries is uneven, and the convenience of auto finance still needs to be improved. The business scope of some auto financing companies is narrow, and it is difficult to meet the diversified loan needs of consumers, so it is necessary to further expand the business scope and increase the business varieties. In the long run, we should give full play to the leverage of finance to better promote automobile consumption and circulation.

In this regard, the "Opinions" proposed to optimize automobile consumption financial services. Encourage financial institutions to optimize financial services for automobile use and consumption, and standardize the financing of automobile accessories under the premise of legal compliance and controllable risks. Develop automobile financial leasing and standardize the financial leasing business of sale and leaseback mode. Guide financial institutions to optimize resource allocation and business layout, and increase credit support for automobile consumption in rural areas. Encourage payment service providers to increase the single payment amount for specific scenarios of online car consumption under the premise of preventing and controlling risks.

In Xue Xu’s view, optimizing automobile consumption financial services will bring more benefits to consumers.

Unacceptable cold knowledge of history

For a long time, the public’s cognition of Napoleon’s height has remained in the impression of "the little emperor".

However, recent historical research has found that the real height of this famous strategist is about 168 to 170 cm, which is not short as people think.

In fact, his height is just the opposite of the widely circulated rumors at that time, showing a history of misleading the public.

Regarding Napoleon’s height, people used to focus on his smaller figure.

But recent research has revealed the truth.

According to French literature and other historical evidence, it is confirmed that Napoleon’s actual height is about 168 to 170 cm.

(Note that the average height of French men at that time was 1.69 meters) Compared with the public records at that time, it is not difficult to see that Napoleon was not particularly short.

However, due to a rumor in the British media at that time, the people misunderstood.

During the Napoleonic Wars, the British media published a large number of satirical reports about Napoleon’s body shape, which portrayed Napoleon as a short figure, in order to demoralize opponents.

However, it should be noted that these reports are not based on facts, but rumors.

Interestingly, the source of this misunderstanding turned out to be an innocuous incident in history.

It is said that Napoleon liked riding horses during the war, but because his knee was hit by a stone in the trench, he could not ride for a long time.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary influence on the battle, he often chooses to travel by carriage.

This detail of life was maliciously interpreted by people with a heart, and rumors about Napoleon’s short legs were fabricated.

Rumors spread constantly, casting an image of Napoleon’s short stature in many people’s minds.

On the other hand, a famous saying of Empress Dowager Cixi, although not directly related to historical figures, also gives a unique perspective on family ties.

We can’t help but sigh that parents’ deep care for their children is really touching.

Empress Dowager Cixi had no time to congratulate her mother personally on her birthday, so she left a message with a poem to express her love and respect for her mother.

That calligraphy is one.

Sporty

Elegance in daily life and elegance in sports are more important.

Nowadays, sports style watches should not only meet the needs of sports occasions, but also be the fashion embellishment of daily life, adding vitality to wearing. In order to meet the needs of the new generation, Longines watches draw inspiration from the first edition of Conquest Concas watches and incorporate more modern and mature styles. This year, a number of new Concas series Yuedong watches have been launched, with all kinds of watches for men and women. Its design style is not only slightly retro, but also retains the consistent sense of movement of Concas series, and at the same time injects more elegant elements. This new generation style, called Sporty-Chic sports fashion, is full of charm and vitality, which can be controlled in various occasions, and also shows Longines’ keen insight into modern urban life.
