LONGINES CONQUEST GMT AUTOMATIC, FULL SET

Longines watches have their origins in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, when Auguste Agassiz founded a watchmaking workshop with two other partners. This small workshop, known as Agassiz & Compagnie, began producing pocket watches and quickly established itself in the Swiss market due to the quality and precision of its products.

Birth of the Longines brand

In 1867, Longines built its first factory, called Les Longines (which means “the long meadows” in French), from where its name originates. In the same year, they developed their first in-house movement, the calibre 20A, which won a medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition. This innovation allowed Longines to fully control its production, ensuring superior quality and solidifying its reputation as a prestigious brand.

Achievements and international fame

Longines’ fame grew rapidly:

• In 1889, the brand registered its iconic winged hourglass logo, becoming the oldest watch brand with a registered logo still in use.
• In 1912, Longines pioneered the use of electromechanical devices for sports event timing, solidifying its reputation in precision timing and establishing itself as the official timekeeper of numerous international sports events.

Innovation and luxury watchmaking

Over the years, Longines has continued to innovate, launching iconic collections such as the Longines Master Collection and the HydroConquest, which blend Swiss precision with elegant designs. Furthermore, they have continued to develop advanced technologies, staying at the forefront of haute horlogerie and highlighting their focus on elegance and functionality.

Today, Longines is one of the most respected brands in the world of watchmaking, recognized for its legacy of precision, elegance, and excellence in timekeeping.
