Longines Watches
Since it was established in 1832, Longines has been a pioneer in the creation of exquisite timepieces, with a rich lineage and an unwavering dedication to quality. Its watches stand as a testament to the prowess of Swiss watchmaking.
Based in the village of Saint-Imier in Switzerland—the company’s birthplace—Longines’ expert watchmakers have built a vast collection of high-beat stopwatches, chronographs, chronometers and elegant watches over the years. Its creations consistently sit within the industry’s cutting-edge of innovation.
Interestingly, Longines is the oldest brand in the world to be registered with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). Before WIPO even existed, Longines ensured all products leaving its factory were engraved with a serial number, its name ‘Longines’ and its winged hourglass symbol—proving the watchmaker was a pioneer in protecting its products against counterfeits.
One significant part of Longines’ history was its role in the Olympics. It became the first-ever official timekeeper of the world-famous sporting event at the 1896 games held in Athens and was involved in subsequent Olympics, too. It wasn’t until 1932 that Omega—like Longines, now owned by the Swatch Group—took over all time-keeping duties at the games.
Longines also equipped the aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh and polar explorer Roald Amundsen with watches—paying testament to their reliability—while Albert Einstein was also known to wear a Longines watch, which he received as a gift.One of its most sought-after current collections is the Heritage range. As the name suggests, this line pays homage to the brand's rich past, featuring classic timepieces inspired by vintage favourites like its Legend Diver and Avigation models. With intricate detailing, vivid dial colours and a hint of nostalgia, the Heritage line has been hugely successful.
