He eventually took over the business, but it wasn't until his entrepreneur nephew Ernest Francillon joined
the company that Longines really started. By 1867 he had convinced an assortment of piecemakers
to work in the new factory, and their first in house movement was produced, along
with the Longines name, and winged hourglass logo to defend against counterfeits. Based in Saint-Imier
since 1832, Longines has a long and prestigious history. They also built strong connections with
skiing and equestrian events, as these best reflected their company motto: 'Elegance is an attitude'.
With a stainless steel case and black crocodile strap, it is elegant and sophisticated; a

Chanel, TW Steel, Longines, Panerai and many others. Charles Lindbergh set off on his first
non-stop crossing of the Atlantic with a Longines on board, timing the crossing at 33hours
and 30 minutes. They have timed 31 Tours de France, over a hundred Show Jumping
competitions in Europe and North America, and is the official Timekeeper at the Roland Garros
Tennis grand Slam Tournament,.But Longines isn't a sports watch brand. Right until 1929, Longines could
claim the title 'Leading Prize Winner' at the World fairs, and their premises were continually
being upgraded to allow better facilities. By 1911 the company employed over 1100 people, and
was selling its watches worldwide.The company gradually built up a close relationship with sporting events,
and timed the Olympic Games fourteen times. Watchfinder has a wide nike tn variety of pre owned
Longines watches on its site for very reasonable prices, and the company has never compromised
its motto. The story begins with Auguste Agassiz getting a job in Saint-Imier as a
trader of watch parts. Of course, with 30 million Longines out there, there's no reason
you should miss out. Longines watches were also worn by Amelia Earhart, and in the
1930s it was Longines who patented the Flyback Chronograph.Because of their early expansion, Longines watches
have been widely sold, with the company producing their 30millionth watch in 2001. This logo
would be registered as a trademark in 1880, the oldest watch brand logo in existence.From
the start the Longines brand received commendations and awards, Francillon returning from the Paris World
Fair in 1867 with a bronze medallion for the watch. The company have also provided
watches to the International Aeronautics Federation, becoming their official supplier in 1919. At that time
it was common practice for blank components to be sent out to craftsmen who worked
at home. All Longines are an example of elegance, be they classical or contemporary in
their design.One of the latest Longines watches has a more classical look, and although it
is a chronograph, the new Column Wheel Chronograph follows their motto to the letter. Ernest's
big idea was to gather the makers of all these components together under one roof,
and so in 1866 he purchased land at Les Longines, or 'long and narrow fields'
in the local dialect. For more information, please visit http://www.watchfinder.co.uk.Jemma Hill is an author with
