Longines Men's Leather Band Parallel Imported Watch with 2-Year Warranty L4.810.4.11.2
| Product Highlights | |
| In 1832, Auguste Agassiz, brother of the renowned naturalist Louis Agassiz, delved into the world of watchmaking at a timepiece sales company in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, 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 manufacturing processes into one location to improve watchmaking methods. In 1867, he established the "Longines Factory" on the right bank of the Suze River in Saint-Imier, where watch assembly and finishing could be mechanized in one place. Francillon later brought in his young relative, engineer Jacques David, to develop the necessary machinery for enhancing the watchmaking process. Production continued to expand until the 1930s. By 1911, the "Longines Factory" employed over 1,100 workers and shipped its products worldwide. Longines' technical research efforts were rewarded in various forms, earning over 10 Grand Prix awards by the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, establishing the brand as the most decorated. In 1989, Francillon trademarked the name Longines along with the winged hourglass logo. Longines, registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), is one of the oldest brands to use the same registered trademark and logo since its inception. Evolving manufacturing techniques in the factory gradually forged special relationships with the sports world, offering 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." | |
