LONGINES
Longines was founded in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz in Saint-Imier, Switzerland where it remains today. The company is among the oldest of watch brands and its winged logo, registered in 1889, is the oldest unchanged registered trademark. Its first chronograph debuted in 1878 and quickly became a favourite in the horse racing scene. Longines developed the first sports timer triggered by an electric wire and also timed the first nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic in human history. The brand is now an official timer for equestrian sports, gymnastics, alpine skiing and more. Longines boasts one of the most respected names in the history of watchmaking and continues to be a leader in the affordable luxury segment. |
