Unbeknownst to some, Longines traces its legacy back to 1832, when Auguste Agassiz and his fellow watchmakers opened a humble workshop in St-Imier. The success that Longines enjoys today is largely thanks to Agassiz’s forward-thinking nephew Ernest Francillon, who joined the company in 1852. Francillon opened the Longines factory in 1867, in a precinct named Es Longines, which translates to “long meadows” and from which the brand takes its name. Francillon desired a technologically advanced factory.

His brainchild incorporated the latest construction and crafting machinery, along with hydro-electric turbines, which made Longines one of the first Swiss watch brands to mechanize the production of watches. Incidentally, Longines also has the oldest trademark that is still valid today. The Longines brand name was filed in 1880, and the winged hourglass logo was registered in 1889. In fact, the winged hourglass logo has been used by Francillon and his watchmakers since 1867.
