How the Longines Brand Began
The Longines luxury watch brand began in Saint-Imier, Switzerland back in 1832 and is still based there to this day. Watchmaker Auguste Agassiz started at a trading office at this time and rose to the role of manager when the company took the name Agassiz & Co. The watches went on to be sold in different continents, including North America. In the 1850’s, Agassiz’s nephew, Ernest Francillon, took over the office and began perfecting manufacturing methods to improve the company name even more. The name Longines came about in 1866, named after the site in which the future factory was built in 1867.
The Longines factory expanded over the years and production increased. In 1889, Francillon patented a trademark including the Longines name and winged hourglass symbol. Today, Longines is a member of the Swatch Group Ltd. and these watches are available in more than 150 countries.
