Founded by Auguste Agassiz in Saint-Imier, in the Bernese Jura, and the brand has produced its watches there continuously for nearly two centuries, one of the longest unbroken site-and-brand pairings in the trade.
Founded 1832 by Auguste Agassiz in Saint-Imier, in the Bernese Jura, one of the longest continuously-operating watch manufacturers in the world. Longines built the world-record-setting chronograph movements of the early 20th century (the 13ZN, the 30CH) and supplied the timing equipment for aviation pioneers including Lindbergh’s 1927 transatlantic flight (the Hour Angle Watch was Lindbergh’s post-flight design contribution). Under Swatch Group since 1983; the modern catalog leans heavily on the Heritage line, faithful reissues from the brand’s deep archive, alongside the Master Collection dress-and-complication staples.
