The birth of the Longines brand dates back to 1832, when Auguste Agassiz established a small watchmaking workshop in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. Initially known for producing pocket watches, Longines quickly gained a reputation for precision and innovation.
In 1867, Ernest Francillon, Agassiz's nephew, took over the management of the company and expanded its operations. Under Francillon's leadership, Longines pioneered advancements in watchmaking technology, such as standardizing production and introducing mechanized production techniques.
By the late 19th century, Longines had become one of the leading Swiss watch manufacturers, renowned for its accurate timekeeping and elegant designs. The brand's success continued into the 20th century, with Longines becoming an official supplier of timepieces to various international sporting events, including the Olympics.
