It played a pioneering role in numerous technological advances,

All Longines watches come with sapphire glass and superb movements.
And Longine watches offer a broad range of designs to choose from, unlike other swiss watch makers. Longine watch is a affordable quality Swiss watch for the average consumer.
Auguste Agassiz, a young merchant, moved to St Imier in Switzerland, in 1832. He operated what today would have been known as a virtual corporation using home-workers to create watches that he sold.
In 1854 he handed responsibility of the business to his nephew, Ernest Francillon. He realized that outsourcing did not produce consistency of quality. He built a factory in Les Longines.
It started producing chronographs in 1879.
In 1912 the company produced the first automatic timekeeping device - the wire cutting system. From that day Longines has long been associated with time-keeping at major sporting events.
