Longines was established in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland and has since been appointed official timekeeper for many international sports events, including winter and summer olympic games. Who do you know that selected a Longine watch as their preferred timepiece? Perhaps many are your friends but for sure Audrey Hepburn preferred Longines, as did Humphrey Bogart. The first Longine was a pocket watch in 1866, born in a factory on the banks of the Suze River at Les Longines. This watch was set to the correct time by a small crown while others at that time were wound and set with a separate key. The now famous winged hourglass on all movements is Longines'' mark of origin against counterfeit watches so much on the market of replicas today. The Longine watch offers the finest collection of men''s and women''s watches including showcase models such as Evidenza, La Grande Classique, Dolce Vita, Flagship, Prestige Gold and Heritage.
