Since its creation in 1832, Longines is based in Saint-Imier, a small town in Switzerland. Longines always enjoyed a close and trusting relationship with the village that saw it grow and take its place among the worlds leading horological houses.
Elegance is an attitude
Longines focuses to produce classically styled timepieces which combine the best modern Swiss watch making technology with designs that recall the elegance and style of earlier times. It played a pioneering role in numerous technological advances, having a dominant presence particularly in aeronautics and in the field of sports timekeeping all of this, whilst constantly affirming all around the world that "elegance is an attitude".

On May 20th 1927, Charles Lindberg made aviation history with the first non-stop transatlantic flight. As the official timekeeper of the International Aviation Association, Longines duly entered his flight in the record books. Shortly afterwards, close collaboration between Longines and Lindbergh led to the Longines Hour Angle watch. Conceived and designed by Charles A. Lindbergh, it served to determine exact longitude during long-distance flights.
