| Product Highlights | |
| In 1832, Auguste Agassiz, brother of the renowned naturalist Louis Agassiz, ventured into the world of watchmaking at a Swiss watch sales company. Under the name Agassiz & Co., he successfully expanded the distribution network of watches made through cottage industry methods, reaching from America to other continents. In the mid-1850s, Ernest Francillon, Agassiz's nephew, took over the business. Francillon consolidated the scattered watchmaking processes into one location, striving to improve the manufacturing methods. In 1867, he established the "Longines Factory" on the right bank of the Suze River, where watch assembly and finishing could be mechanized in one place. Over the years, Francillon continued to innovate, developing the necessary machinery with the help of young engineer Jacques David to enhance the watchmaking process. By 1911, the Longines Factory employed over 1,100 workers and shipped its products worldwide. Longines' technical research efforts were rewarded with numerous accolades, winning over 10 Grand Prix awards by the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, earning a reputation as the "most awarded brand." In 1989, Francillon trademarked the name Longines along with the winged hourglass logo. Longines remains one of the oldest brands to use the same registered trademark and logo since its inception. Evolving its watchmaking techniques in the factory, Longines gradually established a special relationship with the world of sports, providing expertise across various fields, including the iconic sports of the 20th century. Since its founding in 1832, Longines has been based in Switzerland, continuing to create watches with the themes of "tradition," "elegance," and "performance." | |
