Suggestions Chronograph Watches
A heritage of precision
LONGINES has a long-standing relationship with sports and timekeeping. As early as 1878, we developed chronograph movements for equestrian competitions, and by the 20th century, LONGINES was the official timekeeper for international sporting events, including skiing, gymnastics, and Formula 1.
Our chronograph watches draw from this deep history. Whether you choose a modern automatic model or a piece inspired by our archives, each watch reflects our dedication to measuring time with accuracy and elegance.
What defines a LONGINES chronograph watch
A chronograph watch is distinguished by its ability to measure elapsed time, typically using pushers, subdials, and a central seconds hand. But at LONGINES, it is also a showcase of design mastery.
Our chronograph models are crafted with attention to proportion, legibility, and mechanical performance. Bicompax or tricompax layouts, tachymeter scales, and finely executed counters add functionality without sacrificing harmony. Every detail is refined to ensure both readability and beauty.
Many of our chronograph watches are powered by proprietary movements with column-wheel architecture—offering smooth operation and long-term reliability.
Chronograph watch meets contemporary lifestyle
Once designed for aviators and athletes, the chronograph watch has become a symbol of modern dynamism. Its sporty aesthetic, paired with mechanical sophistication, makes it ideal for daily wear.
Whether worn with a casual outfit or beneath a suit cuff, a LONGINES chronograph adapts effortlessly. Available in a variety of case sizes and materials—stainless steel, ceramic, or rose gold—and with strap options ranging from leather to integrated steel bracelets, these watches reflect personal style as much as they serve a practical function.
Some models offer extra features such as flyback mechanisms, date displays, or automatic winding, further enhancing their everyday usability.
Celebrate every second
A chronograph is the only watch that invites interaction with time—starting, stopping, resetting at will. It transforms the watch from a passive tracker into an active companion. For many, a chronograph watch marks more than the hour—it captures the experience.
At LONGINES, we design chronographs not just for precision, but for emotion. Every push of the pusher, every sweeping second, is part of a larger story—yours.
