INTRODUCTION

Longines Watches

Based in Saint-Imier in Switzerland since 1832, for nearly two centuries Longines have been creating beautiful Swiss Made timepieces which embody their motto of ‘Elegance, Tradition and Performance’. As well as its signature elegant style, Longines’ reputation for precision and reliability have made them a paragon of excellence in the sporting world.

Longines History

Longines Through The Years

Travel back in time with us and explore the rich history of Longines.

1832

The Saint-Imier watchmaking establishment is founded by Auguste Agassiz. Auguste and his two partners make and sell pocket watches with crown-wheel escapements.

1867

The watch factory, located in Saint-Imier – or more precisely in Es Longines (“long meadows”) – is inaugurated by Ernest Francillon.

1867

Longines produces its first movement, the 20A, which wins an award at the Universal Exhibition in Paris. Most movements at this time were wound with keys, but Longines begin producing watches wound via the crown.

1881

The oldest known advertisements for the winged hourglass date back to 1881. The patented chronograph was popular amongst everyone involved in the sport of horse racing, from the bettors and spectators to the professional riders.

1900

Longines wins the Grand Prix at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900 with a pocket watch named La Renommée.

1912

The first system of electromechanical sports timing (using wires which when broken respectively start or stop the watch) is used at the Federal Gymnastics Festival in Basel.

1913

The brand begins to develop its first movements for wristwatches.

1919

Longines is named the official supplier for the International Aeronautical Federation.

1945

The brand’s first self-winding movement launches.

1954

Longines develops the brand’s first quartz clock and the Longines Conquest collection is launched.

1957

The elegant Longines Flagship collection is launched, with its distinctive medallion featuring a caravel engraved on the caseback.

1977

Longines develops a mechanical self-winding calibre, the L990, with a height of only 2.95mm making it the world’s flattest self-winding movement of its kind.

1982

Having signed technical partnerships with the Formula 1 teams of Ferrari and later Renault, Longines becomes the Official Timekeeper for F1 races for 10 years.

1985

Longines is named Official Timekeeper for all the artistic and rhythmic gymnastics events organised by the International Federation of Gymnastics.

1997

The Longines DolceVita collection launches.

2005

As mechanical movements become more popular once again, Longines launches the Longines Master collection, made up of models with mechanical movements.

2007

The Longines Sport collection launches, specially created to meet the needs of sportspeople without sacrificing elegance.

2012

The Longines Saint-Imier collection launches in tribute to where the company was born and where it remains today.

2013

The International Equestrian Federation (FEI) and Longines sign a partnership agreement whereby the watch brand is appointed top partner of the FEI.

2014

The Longines Elegant collection launches, perfectly representing the elegance inherent to the brand.

2018

Today, they have partnerships with show-jumping, flat racing, endurance and eventing competitions, and are the Official Timekeeper of Royal Ascot.
SKIING

Why Longines

Why Choose a Longines Watch?

Swiss Made quality. To earn the honour of wearing the Swiss Made badge, a Longines watch must adhere to the ‘Swissness Laws’ which guarantee its authenticity and heritage.

Famous for its elegant design, a Longines watch is a great choice if you want a refined and sophisticated look.

Dating back as early as 1867, Longines’ iconic winged hourglass is the world’s oldest logo still to be used in its original form. That’s a pretty cool talking point!

The new Record collection gives you C.O.S.C. chronometer certified accuracy at a very attractive price point.

Perfect for those who want to take sport-inspired style to the next level, even the most sporty Longines watch will look great with your formal wear.
