A Rich History: From Pocket Watches to Timepieces

The history of watchmaking stretches back centuries, with some of the earliest timekeepers being pocket watches. These intricate devices were crafted by skilled artisans who spent years perfecting their craft. One such artisan was Auguste Agassiz, a Swiss watchmaker who founded Longines in 1832. Over the years, Longines has continued to innovate and push the boundaries of what is possible in watchmaking.

The Birthplace of Innovation

Longines was born in Saint-Imier, Switzerland – a region that would go on to become synonymous with precision timekeeping and innovative design. This picturesque town was home to many skilled craftsmen who shared a passion for horology and a commitment to excellence.

The Mastery of Timekeeping

Watchmakers at Longines were obsessed with mastering timekeeping – an obsession that led them down paths both fascinating and challenging. They experimented with new materials, techniques, and designs that would ultimately define the modern wristwatch.

Tradition Meets Modernity

While tradition played an important role in shaping Longines' legacy as a master craftsman in English-speaking countries, it's clear that innovation has always been at the heart of this brand's success story.

Iconic Designs That Define Excellence
