Longines Watches
Longines was founded by Auguste Agassiz in 1832, in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. The company has played a pioneering role in many timekeeping technological breakthroughs, particularly in the field of sports, while constantly exhibiting its characteristic elegance across the globe.
Longines developed its first chronograph in 1878, which was quickly adopted by horse enthusiasts. Then, in 1912 they helped shape the future of the sporting world by introducing the first timing mechanism automatically triggered by an electric wire. Since then, the brand has been the official partner and timekeeper for many international federations and prestigious sporting events around the world. Longines has also marked the history of aviation by timing, among other feats, the first non-stop solo flight across the Atlantic by Charles Lindbergh.
Today, the brand remains at the cutting edge of innovation, producing watches that offer a unique combination of tradition, elegance, and performance. A prominent player in the fields of equestrian sports, artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, alpine skiing, archery, and the Commonwealth Games, Longines continues to support landmark events of contemporary sporting history. The brand’s famous winged hourglass logo, which was registered in 1889, is the oldest unchanged yet still active, registered trademark.
