Longines Men's Metal Strap Parallel Import with 2-Year Warranty L2.793.5.99.7
| Brand History | |
| 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 watchmaking processes into one location to improve manufacturing methods. In 1867, he established the "Longines Factory" on the right bank of the Suze River in Saint-Imier, where watches could be assembled and finished using mechanical methods in one place. Francillon later brought in his young relative, engineer Jacques David, to develop the necessary machinery to enhance 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, winning over 10 Grand Prix awards by the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, establishing itself as the most awarded brand. In 1989, Francillon registered the name Longines and the winged hourglass logo as trademarks. Longines, registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), is a brand that uses the same registered trademark and logo as in the past. Evolving watchmaking technology at the factory gradually established a special relationship with the sports world, providing expertise in various fields including the flagship 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." | |
