Longines - a company with style
Longines is a Swiss company, like so many other watch manufacturers. Zenith, TAG Heuer, Ulysse Nardin and many other companies are based in Switzerland. The noble and high-quality watches are manufactured in the small inland area, which is 80 percent covered by the Alps, and exported from there all over the world. The company's origins go back to 1832, when three partners founded a watchmaker's workshop in Saint-Imier, which manufactured pocket watches with a spindle escapement. 14 years later, Agassiz took over management of the company and expanded to the USA. The company grew and later Ernest Francillion, Agassiz's nephew, became the new boss.
