Longines

Longines Watch Co. Francillon Ltd. is a historic Swiss watchmaking company founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. It transitioned from a traditional production system to a modern factory model under Ernest Francillon, who established the first Longines factory in 1867. The company is recognized for being the first Swiss manufacturer to assemble watches entirely under one roof and has a rich history of innovation, including the creation of its first in-house movement, the Caliber 20A.

Longines specializes in designing, manufacturing, and selling luxury wristwatches and chronographs. Its offerings include mechanical and quartz watches with various complications, sports timing instruments, and navigation tools. The brand is known for its iconic winged hourglass logo and has a longstanding reputation as an official timekeeper for major sporting events, particularly in equestrian sports. With nearly two centuries of heritage, Longines continues to produce timepieces that blend technical excellence with elegant design, appealing to discerning customers who appreciate Swiss craftsmanship and style.
