About Longines

Founded in 1832 by Auguste Aggasiz the Swiss Watch brand Longines has created classic luxury watches that have stood the test of time. Inspired by aviation, the winged hour glass logo is recognised worldwide for producing quality accurate sport watches and chronographs. Longines provided timers for the very first modern Olympic games in 1896 and used in North Pole expeditions since 1899, tried and tested in the most extreme conditions, Longines has proved quality and accuracy time and time again.

Longines has kept innovation close to its heart and soul, exemplified when Longines produced the very first watch with an LCD display in 1972, illustrating their forward thinking nature. Their ingenuity in watch mechanics helped Longines produce a series of ultra thin Quartz watches in the 1980s with a world record ultra thin model Feuille d'Or at just 1.98mm thick. Longines' proven reliability and accuracy has led to them being the official timekeeper in major sporting event in American Football, Tennis, Skiing, Equestrian, Gymnastics, Athletics and Aeronautics.

About Longines watches

With a fierce reputation as a pivotal pioneer in aviation timepieces, Longines watches have been leading the way since 1832. This Swiss watchmaker is famous for its iconic chronographs that perfectly combine luxury and purpose, so whether you’re taking on the skies, extreme sports, or just the fast-paced adventures that everyday life could bring, a Longines watch is the perfect companion.

Beginning the journey to success in the sporting world, Longines watches were first invented for sports timekeeping, starting with horse racing events in the US in the 1880s. By 1889, the Swiss watchmaker could already measure 1/5 of a second.

Longines watches now cater to a much broader market. The brand is a renowned manufacturer of timekeeping instruments for the likes of pilots, navigators, sportsmen, and adventurers all over the globe. This is thanks to its unwavering dedication to timekeeping, striving for greatness, accuracy, and precision with every model and collection created.

History of Longines

Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Auguste Agassiz and his partners quickly took the industry by storm, cementing a recognized reputation as a successful watch manufacturer in the early years.

The brand was formally named and introduced as Longines (which translates as ‘long meadow’) in the 1860s, taking its name from their factory based in Es Longines in Saint-Imier. By 1867 the brand's first movement was established: the 20A. This caliber included ground-breaking design elements, such as the pendant winding mechanism, that Longines won acclaim for at the Universal Exhibition in Paris that same year.

From then on, all the dials were engraved with the Longines name and the winged hourglass logo that soon became highly distinguishable as the brand grew globally.

In 1878, Longines produced its first timepiece for the sporting world, creating a carefully crafted chronograph for horse racing events in America. These pocket watches, featuring the new mono-stopper design, were supplied to nearly all sporting officials across New York. Longines then revolutionized sports timing by inventing the electromechanical method in 1912.

As the development of Longines' incredible watches continued, the brand became the official manufacturer for many aviation projects, helping pilots calculate their exact location using latitude and longitude.

In 1945, Longines launched its first self-winding movement. Throughout the many decades that followed, the brand continued to develop the technology within its designs, creating state-of-the-art collections.

Longines is still shaping the world of watchmaking today and is known globally as one of the most pioneering manufacturers of all time.
