Longines Flagship Automatic Parallel Import L4.874.4.52.6
| Brand Story | |
| 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 to America and beyond. In the mid-1850s, Ernest Francillon, Agassiz's nephew, took over the business. Francillon consolidated the scattered watchmaking processes into one location, striving for improvements in watch manufacturing techniques. 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. Continuing the legacy, Francillon brought in the young engineer Jacques David to develop the necessary machinery for enhancing the watchmaking process. By the 1930s, production had continuously expanded. By 1911, the "Longines Factory" employed over 1,100 workers and shipped its products worldwide. Longines' technological research efforts were rewarded in various forms, winning over 10 Grand Prix awards by the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, establishing itself as the most awarded brand. In 1989, Francillon trademarked the name Longines and the winged hourglass logo. Longines, registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), is a brand that uses the same registered trademark and logo from its early days. Evolving its watchmaking technology in the factory, Longines gradually built special relationships with the sports world, providing expertise in various fields, including the iconic sports of the 20th century. Since its founding in 1832, Longines has been based in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, continuing to create watches with the themes of "tradition," "elegance," and "performance." | |
