Longines L4.359.2.12.8 Master Collection Automatic Men's Stainless Steel 40mm Watch
| Brand History | |
| In 1832, Auguste Agassiz, the brother of 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 of watches into one location, striving 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 to enhance the watchmaking process. Production continued to expand until the 1930s. By 1911, the "Longines Factory" employed over 1,100 workers and was exporting its products worldwide. Longines' technical research efforts were rewarded in various forms, winning over 10 Grand Prix awards by the 1929 Barcelona Universal Exposition, earning a reputation 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 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." | |
