About
Longines has a hundred-year history, has always insisted on the “best quality” work philosophy, time-constant efforts to technology innovation, now, the “Longines” has become synonymous with the precision!
Longines The reason why a precise synonyms, all thanks to the continuous efforts of time process. Sponsored by Lewis in 1899 Longines. Ya Manda (Louis-Amadeus) count the North Pole expedition led by the activities provided for the polar temperature changes in the design of a variety of five pocket watch and is subject to strongly commended. Earl wrote: “No matter how bad by climate change, Longines has always been to maintain the most accurate time,” “The Longines chronometers kept the exact time, despite the enormous temperature variations to which they were subjected.” In this expedition, the Many other explorers have opted for Longines as specified timer.
Another great record, is the 1094 Barney Captain (Captain JE Bernier-Arctic) sailing from the United States to the North Pole adventure.
Longines referred to the history, originated in the year 1832 watchmaker Augustus. Age Xi (Auguste-Agassiz), his. Andre Agassi (Louis-Agassiz) was a famous geologist, in St. Imier (Saint-Imier) engaged in small-scale watchmaking factory, have since launched bright future. The Age Xi is the nephew of the founder of Longines ─ ─ Ernest. Buddha Lan Xiang (Ernest-Francillon).
Young, Ornish in his uncle’s watch factory help, because of his intelligence, coupled with hard-working attitude, quickly as management. During this period, Ornish found that the production was too complex and difficult to manage ─ ─ it is based on a number of farmers, in her spare time of the OEM way to aggregate after the assembly of finished products to factories, and then distribute out. This will not only lengthen the production time, and the greater the difficulty of quality control. So in 1866 he began plans to build a place to sit Longines watch a large factory, all the parts manufacturing and assembly factories concentrated in this operation; the following year declared completed in 1867 and to the plant location as a Longines watch factory name.
In the first decade of entrepreneurship, Longines suffered great financial and technical tests, but in the table with the support of all my colleagues in the plant through the storm, and opened this world-wide famous brand Longines.
Ornish? Buddha Lan Xiang used a very simple work philosophy ─ ─ is the “best quality” (Optimum anufacturing). As the firm to this principle, making Longines has won numerous awards and recognition by the world.
Longines early in the year May 27, 1889 will have the wings of the hourglass symbol (a winged hour-glass) to be registered as a trademark, is the world’s few, one of the earliest use of the mark.

　　In the First World War, the watch has been indispensable to the front. Longines is also a result of excellent quality and elegance and convenience of the design of a big step forward. As early as in 1923, when the air war began, Longines is the official designation had been used tables, and many pilots based on the use of this close relationship, Longines produced by the air tables left a deep impression on people, and create a number of records: 1923 This is the first year of Longines into the aviation industry, and subsequently by the International Air Transport Association, the official designated as the official clock.
With over many African mountains of Switzerland is famous for the flight explorer ─ ─ Walter. Mitterrand (WalterMittelholzer), was the first one without interruption from Switzerland crossing to Iran (Switzerland to Iran) who wear the hands of Longines.
In 1927, the greatest year in aviation history. Longines has been used as Charles. Lindbergh (Charles A. Lindbergh) for the first time alone without interruption across the Atlantic (New York to Paris) in the specified timer. In view of the incredible success of the flight, making Longines (Lindbergh HourAngle Watch), in the days ahead after another has been a lot of good used an outstanding aviator.
In 1929, Americans Richard. Byrd, General (Richard Byrd), at the South Pole air base used by the design of the timer PVJWeems invented (Navigation system), andLongines watches(LONGINES Weems NavigationWatch), while the second difference can be easily amended.
In 1930, the world’s leading Led Zeppelin (Graf Zeppelin Airship), at the Longines timer accurately calculate the local and GMT time under the 12 again 1 / 2 days to complete the feat around the globe. This is a lot of adventure stories of the human conquest of the air have been immense.

From the 1867 St. Yami (Saint-Imier) the establishment of watch factory since the 50 years from the original 20 small watch factory has been robust to 2,500. In these years, the Longines active in the world stage and become a game in the Ever Victorious Army.

In 1879, after 20 years, won 400 plane Neuchatel (Neuchatel) Observatory Award; in 1945 created the watch even the most accurate records.
Geneva (Geneva) for seven consecutive years the Hong Kong Observatory issued the 83 prestigious awards for Longines, Longines in 1930 in which a navigation accuracy of the timer has won the most important achievement award.
In the UK, since 1885, Longines has also been 141 Observatory awards, in addition to another 50 classified as privileged observatory Precision Award (expecially good).
From 1907 to 1913, Longines in Washington, DC (Washington) won a total of 2 Observatory, the first prize, while in 1922 nine tenths of the awards include even more by the Longines. As the Longines extraordinary precision, making a number of explorers or adventure activities in the designated use of Longines. In the accurate and correct, under a plan to complete the feat again and again.

Basso in the 1912 Commonwealth Games, the Longines chronograph for the 3500 athletes the correct calculation speed, it again praise goals. In view of works produced at the Longines clock high degree of accuracy, the contributions of the maritime studies, and be issued with higher certificate for verification. Subsequently in 1964, Longines more With the world’s smallest electronic quartz clock sailing prize winner wins the Hong Kong Observatory, which shows that their timing on the achievements.
LONGINES tables produced by each of a timer, have precise timing characteristics and extraordinary quality assurance, was also given the same time, superior design and quality. LONGINES in 1879 to create the world’s first Chronograph later, in 1969, took the lead once again to produce the world’s first quartz watch. LONGINES table Another achievement was the use of quartz on the characteristics of vibration generated characters show jumping became the first liquid crystal display using only the timer. In 1979, LONGINES also launched the world’s thinnest at the timeWatches, The table body thickness of less than two millimeters. These inventions laid LONGINES table creative ideas as well as the tabulation technology prominence.
