About Longines

Longines was founded in Saint-Imier in the Swiss Jura in 1832. The brand took its name from the plot of land called Les Longines, where its first own factory was built in 1867. Its emblem, the winged hourglass, was registered in 1889 and is considered one of the oldest trademarks in the world still in use in its original form.

Its defining trait is the combination of classic elegance and sporting history. Longines has been timekeeper at numerous competitions and built instruments for aviation pioneers, including the Hour Angle Watch of 1931, based on an idea by Charles Lindbergh. Today the range extends from the Master Collection and DolceVita to sporty models such as HydroConquest, Conquest and Spirit. This makes Longines the brand for anyone looking for Swiss watchmaking with style and history.

From Saint-Imier to the winged hourglass

In 1832 Auguste Agassiz joined a watch business in Saint-Imier in the Swiss Jura, from which Longines emerged. His nephew Ernest Francillon built the first factory in 1867 on a plot called Les Longines, which gave the brand its name. In 1889 he registered the winged hourglass as a trademark, and it is still used unchanged today. Longines made a name for itself in aviation early on: In 1927 the brand timed Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight, in 1931 the Hour Angle watch was created based on his idea, and Amelia Earhart wore a Longines on her record flights. To this day Longines is a timekeeper in equestrian sport and alpine skiing. Since 1983 the brand has belonged to today's Swatch Group.

The Longines collections at a glance

Since 1954 the Conquest has been the brand's sporty yet elegant everyday watch, and the current generation is chronometer-certified. The HydroConquest is the diver's watch, water-resistant to 300 metres with a ceramic bezel, while the Legend Diver takes up the design of the 1960s with its internal rotating bezel. The Spirit draws on the pilot's watches of the pioneering era, and the Master Collection stands for classic automatic watches, many of them with a moon phase or as a chronograph. The Record is an understated dress watch with chronometer certification. For women there is the rectangular DolceVita, the delicate Mini DolceVita and the Primaluna. You will find all Longines automatic men's watches and all women's watches in separate overviews.

Movements, chronometers and warranty

Longines relies on exclusive automatic movements from the Swatch Group that are built only for the brand. The L888 calibre offers around 72 hours of power reserve, and many versions use a silicon balance spring that is resistant to magnetic fields. Spirit, Record and the current Conquest are certified as chronometers by the COSC. The Ultra-Chron uses a high-frequency movement beating at 36,000 vibrations per hour. Longines grants a five-year manufacturer's warranty on watches with a mechanical movement and two years on quartz watches.
