Longines

Longines watch - premium straight from Switzerland

The history of the Longines watch brand began in 1832, when Auguste Agassiz got a job at the Comptoir Horloger Raiguel Jeune company in the small village of Saint-Imier. As early as 1833, he and two partners took over the management of the company, and they continued their activities under the name Comptoir Raiguel Jeue & Cie. At that time, the company still operated in accordance with the prevailing business model, i.e. raw materials and components were delivered to external watchmakers, they assembled them in their homes, and the company bought back the finished pieces from them. Later, the idea was formulated that, in contrast to the past, all phases of watchmaking should be carried out "under one roof", so that much more productive and better quality watches could be produced within an integrated process. The reputation of Longines Swiss watch is beyond doubt, it has hundreds of its own stores and even more distributors.
