Elegance in movement
Timeless elegance
Classical or sporty, elegance by Longines is an attitude.
Over a period of 180 years, Longines has made the notion of timeless elegance its own. This is evident in its signature and especially its aesthetic heritage, which has been constantly enriched and from which it draws a subtle balance between refinement and classical designs. So that each second is a moment of eternity.
Lines, shapes, colours and materials are combined to form a perfect expression of elegance and beauty. A subtle harmony is evident in all the models created by Longines, lending them the brand’s characteristic stringency and precision.
Grace and purity are the very essence of elegance. They reveal an instinctive, universal and timeless seductiveness, as embodied in Kate Winslet, Aishwarya Rai, Simon Baker, Chi Ling Lin and Ingeborga Dapkunaite who, from east to west, radiate talent and natural elegance.

Watchmaking tradition
Longines perpetuates a tradition which is characterised by stringency and innovation.
To produce only the best – that was always the ambition of Auguste Agassiz and Ernest Francillon, the founders of Longines. To risk the avant-garde without falling into the whirlpool of fashion, to achieve
excellence without abandoning sleek lines.
Registered and protected in Switzerland since as early as 1889, the winged hourglass logo of the Longines Watch Co. is the oldest valid trademark in the international register of the World Intellectual Property Organisation ( WIPO ).
Since winning its first medal at the Paris World Exhibition in 1867, Longines' know-how and audacity have been rewarded with many other prizes. Today Longines still relies on its long tradition of watchmaking
for the new models it creates and the new ideas it develops.

Legendary heritage
When Longines’ historical models come together with new watchmaking technology.
The models in the Longines Heritage collection are a true tribute to the innovative spirit of the brand’s watchmakers, who have handed down their skills from one generation to the next. These models exemplify the timelessness of the brand’s designs as well as its continuing ability to pay tribute to its past.
By making an active contribution to the development of the wristwatch as a navigational tool, Longines demonstrates its commitment to audacity and exceptional design – values which were embodied notably in Commander Weems with his Weems system of navigation and Charles Lindbergh with his famous hour-angle watch.
When they set out to conquer the planet, to cross new horizons or to experience extreme conditions, Longines was there alongside the pioneers and adventurers who went down in history thanks to their most remarkable dreams and exploits. From the North Pole to the South Pole, from the world’s highest summits to the depths of the oceans, on land or in the air.

The Longines Heritage 1951–1954 models are updated versions of the mechanical chronographs produced in the 1950s, which in turn were developed from the brand’s first wrist chronographs designed in 1913. At the same time a watch and a memento, each model embodies the spirit of this precious and indestructible heritage.

In 1927 Commander Philip van Horn Weems devised the "Weems system of navigation", an ingenious method of navigating that required a watch to determine exact Greenwich mean time. Today, The Longines Weems Second-Setting Watch, a mechanical timepiece fitted with a central rotating dial, pays tribute to this essential invention and its creator.

On 21 May 1927 Charles Lindbergh flew solo from New York to Paris in 33 hours and 30 minutes. After this exploit – timed by Longines – he designed the hour-angle watch which he asked Longines to manufacture. This timepiece, fitted with a state-of-the-art self-winding movement, has been re-issued in two versions, one with the same diameter as the original, namely 47.5 mm.

Accompanied by his wife, he flew the equivalent of a third of the Earth’s circumference.

Longines created the Avigation Type A-7 in 1935, following a call for tenders launched by the US Army Air Corps. Designed to be worn on the inside of the left wrist, this model enables the pilot to use his chronograph without letting go of the controls. The dial, which is angled at 50° to the right, is aligned with the aircraft’s flying instruments, which means that the pilot can read it with minimum effort. Today, the updated edition of the Avigation Type A-7 houses the new L788 single push-piece, column-wheel chronograph movement with a minute counter and a large centre sweep seconds ; the start, stop and reset-at-zero functions are operated using the single push-piece.

In the early 1950s Longines created a watch exclusively for Swissair. It had a graduated 24-hour dial, a feature required by the airline’s navigators, who flew between one time-zone and another and could not always fix their position using the sun. This original model has now been re-issued under the name Longines Twenty-Four Hours.

180 years of tradition and elegance.
Timepieces that celebrate the birthplace of the legend that is Longines.
Like the market town of Saint-Imier which saw its birth, Longines has developed through determination and a close attachment to time. The company has indeed made a major contribution towards the identity and reputation of this thousand-year old settlement. The name Longines is based on the site on the banks of the River Suze that the founder chose for setting up a factory which would be the start of a legend, constantly revitalised, with a capacity for innovation that is today an essential part of Longines’ 180 years of tradition and elegance.
This 180th anniversary commemorates the opening of the trading office which Auguste Agassiz joined in 1832. Under the system of établissage which was standard practice at the time, the watchmakers worked at home. Ernest Francillon, Agassiz’s nephew, took over the trading office in the 1850s. He soon planned to build a factory in order to improve production methods, and this plan came to fruition in 1867 with the creation of the Longines factory.
With its winged hourglass trademark, Longines quickly gained prestige, know-how and audacity, qualities which Longines is celebrating this year through a series of exceptional commemorative models. The Longines Column-Wheel Single Push-Piece Chronograph 180th Anniversary, available in rose gold or steel, recalls the brand’s long-standing involvement in timing and the world of sport. As for the Longines Lépine 180th Anniversary, this watch takes fervent admirers of horlogical perfection back to the very source of Longines’ know-how.

Elegance in movement
Since 1878, Longines has been continually involved in the world of sport.
In 1912 Longines launched its box chronograph based on the broken-wire timing system. This world first in the history of sports timing marked the start of a long and close collaboration between
Longines and the world of competitive sport.
Longines has been employed as a timekeeper in a range of disciplines that all involve elegance, such as tennis, equestrian sport and artistic and rhythmic gymnastics. Here precision of movement and perfection of style converge.
Longines actively supports the former tennis stars’ two foundations : the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education and Children for Tomorrow.
With their exemplary behaviour on court and their indefatigable commitment to disadvantaged children through their respective charity organisations, Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf are the perfect embodiment of the human values upheld by Longines.
