About Longines
A subsidiary of the Swiss Swatch Group, Compagnie des Montres Longines Fracillion S.A simply known as Longines, was founded by Auguste Agassiz in 1832. The Swiss luxury watch maker is based in Saint Imier, Switzerland. It was originally named Raiguel Juene & Cie after Auguste’s partners, Henri Raiguel and Florian Morel. Upon their retirement in 1846, Auguste Agassiz acquired the company. His nephew Facillon later inherited the company after proving his worth by creating many mastermind pieces that distinguished the company from other companies.
With a great deal of expertise, passion and commitment the Longines Company has produced a wide variety of collections. For elegance you should try the Longines DolceVita, Longines Symphonette, La Grande Classiques de Longines, Presence, Flagship, Longines Lyre and the Agassiz. For people who are loyal to watchmaking tradition; the Longines Masters Collection, Record Collection, The Longines 1832, Conquest Classic, the Longines Elegant Collection, Longines evidenza and the Longines Saint-Imier Collection can be tempting enough. For a mixture of tradition and innovation, The Equestrian Collection is inspired by both old pieces and modern elements. Innovation, sophistication and sport birthed The Conquest and Hydroconquest Collections. As homage to the original elegance, The Heritage collection brings to memory what was and what has been.
The Longines Museum houses all the collections that represent all facets of the brand’s past. The Museum exhibits the history of the winged hourglass brand from 1832 till date. Marking the company’s 180th anniversary the museum was renovated in 2012 to show exceptional photographs of the brands history. The facility is open Monday through Friday. It is closed on weekends and on public holidays.
