Mastering the Art of Watchmaking The English Legac

Longines, a Swiss watchmaker with over 190 years of history, has established itself as one of the most respected names in the world of horology. While its roots are firmly planted in Switzerland, Longines' legacy extends beyond borders and languages, with a rich English heritage that continues to influence its watches today.

Early Beginnings

The story begins in 1832 when Auguste Agassiz founded his first watchmaking workshop in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. Over time, this small workshop grew into a global brand known for its precision and quality. In 1889, Longines became an official supplier to King Edward VII of England who appreciated their exquisite craftsmanship and innovative designs.

Royal Patronage

This royal patronage had significant implications for Longines' future development. As King Edward VII's favorite watchmaker, they were entrusted with creating unique pieces that reflected not only their technical prowess but also their understanding of British elegance and sophistication. This collaboration laid the groundwork for Longines' reputation as a master craftsman capable of producing high-quality watches that appealed to discerning clients across continents.

Innovative Designs

Longines continued to push boundaries by introducing new designs inspired by British culture and style. One such iconic design is the "Maltese Cross," which was adopted as part of their logo after World War I due to its popularity among Allied forces during wartime service on Malta Island.

International Expansion

As international trade flourished during the early 20th century, so did Longines' reach beyond Europe's shores - particularly towards England where it established strong connections through partnerships with prestigious retailers like Harrods department store in London.

Brand Ambassadors & Partnerships

Over time, numerous notable figures from England have worn or endorsed Longines watches including Sir Winston Churchill who wore a V-Hour Alarm model while serving at Gallipoli during World War I; golf legend Nick Faldo; Formula One racing driver Jenson Button; tennis player Andy Murray; equestrian rider Charlotte Dujardin - these endorsements further solidified Longine's connection to English culture.
