The perfect Longines watch

The Longines watch brand was founded in 1832. Throughout almost 200 years its owners as well as its name changed but it is still the market leader and a highly respected watchmaker. A key moment came in 1893, when the brand was added to the register of the Swiss International Intellectual Property Office, at the time becoming the oldest legally protected watch brand in the world. It is worth pointing out that the company has been meticulously noting the serial numbers of every watch issued since 1867, so that every wearer is guaranteed a service that is valued the world over. This also makes it possible to check for authenticity. Extremely precise craftsmanship is the hallmark of this brand. The company is fully committed to quality and durability of its products.

Longines watches at moments in history

The Longines brand guaranteed accurate timekeeping during the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo. The brand's watches were also used in an attempt to complete the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Lessons learned regarding the performance of watches in these (undoubtedly) harsh atmospheric conditions were applied during their subsequent improvement. Longines has been the official timekeeper at major world-class sporting events for many decades. It is also a valued partner of international sports federations. Perfect timekeeping accuracy have made Longines a partner and timekeeper at so many events over the years. Some of the models have a vibration frequency that ensures they are accurate to one minute over a five-year period.
