Since its creation in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Longines has played a pioneering role in numerous technological breakthroughs while displaying its elegance around the world. Longines has been appointed official timekeeper for many international sports events, including many winter and summer Olympic Games, and has associated with the history of aviation and navigation, timing Lindbergh`s first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean and, subsequently developing the Hour Angle watch according to a design drawn by Lindbergh himself. In the forefront of technological innovation, Longines launched its first wristwatch in 1905, the world`s thinnest electromagnetic watch in 1960 and the world`s first cybernetic, electronic quartz watch - the Longines Ultra-Quartz - in 1969, "Feuille d`Or" the world`s thinnest quartz watch(0.98mm) and 1984 saw the birth of the famous Conquest VHP (Very High Precision) movement.
"Elegance is an attitude" a slogan describing today`s direction of the Longines watch brand, offering a unique combination of precision and elegance, basing it upon the charisma of two legendary film stars, Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart, and other famous ambassadors from all over the world.
