Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Longines has a distinguished history rooted in precision, performance, and a timeless vision of elegance. Originally established by Auguste Agassiz, the company was advanced by his nephew Ernest Francillon, who pioneered mechanized production by bringing all watchmaking artisans under one roof in a factory built on a field known as Les Longines. This industrial foresight established the brand's foundation for technical innovation. The company's winged hourglass logo, registered in 1889, is the oldest active trademark of its kind, symbolizing its enduring legacy.
