History

Founded in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz in Saint-Imier, Longines is one of the oldest registered watch brands. It gained historical significance through its development of high-precision chronometers for navigation and sports. The brand played a critical role in aviation history, collaborating with Charles Lindbergh to create the Hour Angle watch. Its long-standing involvement in timing international gymnastics and equestrian competitions established its reputation for reliability within global sporting and fashion history.
