In 1832, Auguste Agassiz, the brother of the naturalist Louis Agassiz, entered the world of watch manufacturing at a watch sales company in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, and took charge of the company named 'Agassiz & Co.'. He successfully expanded the sales network of watches, which were then made in small workshops, to America and other continents. In the mid-1850s, Ernest Francillon, the nephew of Agassiz, took over the management. While managing the company, Francillon worked to improve the watch manufacturing process by consolidating the separate production processes into one location. In 1867, he established the 'Longines Factory' on the right bank of the Suze River (which flows through the Saint-Imier valley), where assembly and finishing could be done mechanically in one place. Later, Francillon invited a young engineer from his family, Jacques David, to develop the necessary machinery to improve the watch manufacturing process. Production continued to expand steadily until the 1930s. By 1911, the 'Longines Factory' employed over 1,100 workers and shipped its products worldwide. The technical research conducted at Longines was rewarded in various forms, and by the time of the International Exposition held in Barcelona in 1929, it had won more than ten grand prizes, becoming known as 'the brand with the most awards'. In 1989, Francillon trademarked the name Longines and the logo of the hourglass with wings. Longines is one of the oldest brands registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), using the same registered trademark and logo as in the past. Through the evolution of watch manufacturing technology in the factory, Longines gradually built a special relationship with the sports world, providing its expertise in various fields, including the glamorous sports of the 20th century. Since its founding in 1832, Longines has continued to create watches with the themes of 'tradition', 'elegance', and 'performance'.
