About Longines Watches

Longines Watches have a history that began when Auguste Agassiz opened his first workshop in St. Imier in 1832, followed by his nephew Ernest Francillon opening the first factory in 1866 on fields at "es Longines". In 1880 the Longines watch brand name was registered and the winged hour glass symbol was born. Since that time Longines has enjoyed a very high profile being tied into various Olympic Games as well as being worn by Amelia Earhart the first woman aviator to fly from Newfoundland to Ireland. By their 169th Anniversary Longines had sold over 30 Million watches worldwide.

Today Longines offers an across-the-board choice of watches, ranging from sport watches such as the Longines Hydroconquest collection, available in stainless steel, ceramic or two-tone, to dress watches such as the Longines Classique, available in stainless stseel or 18kt gold. In addition Longines offers some nice entry level complications at very reasonable prices such as the Longines Master and the Evidenza series.

The HydroConquest Collection of watches is a sport watch, usually in stainless steel with a rugged look built for daily wear. As can be seen from the name, these watches from Longines are the ultimate in diving performance, with a water resistance up to 300m. The Longines Hydro-Conquest line includes the Longines HydroConquest Automatic, the Longines HydroConquest Chronograph, and a series of Longines HydroConquest ladies watches.
