About Longines
Elegance is an Attitude
Longines has nearly two centuries of continuous watchmaking — founded in Saint-Imier in 1832, it's one of the oldest registered watch brands in existence. Before the quartz crisis repositioned it as an accessible brand, Longines was a genuine competitor to Omega and Rolex, winning precision awards and timing the Olympics. The brand's archives are a treasure trove: the Lindbergh Hour Angle watch (designed with Charles Lindbergh), the Legend Diver, and military chronographs. Today under Swatch Group, Longines offers remarkable value — column-wheel chronographs, silicon balance springs, and heritage-inspired designs at prices that undercut competitors by 40-60%. A thinking collector's entry point.
Charles Lindbergh designed the Hour Angle watch with Longines (1931). Timed five Olympic Games. Wing-and-hourglass logo is the oldest registered watchmaker trademark.
Vintage Longines chronographs and sector-dial pieces are rising at auction. Modern Longines offers exceptional movement quality per dollar but limited secondary market premium.
