A Legacy of Precision and Innovation

The story of Longines, or "浪琴" as it is affectionately known in Chinese, began in 1832 when Auguste Agassiz founded a watch repair shop in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. Over the years, the brand has evolved into one of the most respected names in the world of horology, renowned for its commitment to precision and innovation. From its early days as a humble watchmaker's workshop to its current status as a global luxury brand, Longines has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible with timekeeping technology.

The Birthplace of Aviation Watches

In 1912, Longines became the first manufacturer to produce an official chronometer for aviation use - an achievement that would have far-reaching implications for both aviation and watchmaking. This milestone marked not only a significant moment in history but also cemented Longines' position at the forefront of innovative design and engineering.

Perfecting Tradition Through Collaboration

Longines has collaborated with some of history's most iconic figures - from aviators like Charles Lindbergh to explorers like Sir Edmund Hillary - each partnership contributing to their rich heritage and further refining their understanding of what makes a truly exceptional timepiece.

Embracing Modernity While Preserving Heritage

Today's Longines watches continue this tradition by blending timeless elegance with cutting-edge technology while staying true to their Swiss roots. Their designs are characterized by sleek lines and classic motifs that evoke both sophistication and understated charm.

Honoring Excellence: Awards & Recognition
