History

Longines’ history dates back to the early 19th century. It was founded in 1832 by Aguste Agassiz who developed interest in the field while working for a firm that traded watch parts. The company soon earned recognition in the world of sports and is known for its sport watches and chronographs. The company now owned by the renowned Swatch Group has the oldest registered emblem for a watchmaker.
