Longines Watches as Pioneers in Time Measurement

Longines began in 1832 in Saint Imier, Switzerland. The company started as an agency, but soon switched to watchmaking and timekeeping. Longines released the first chronograph pocket watch in 1878, and as a pioneer of its time, it was already able to measure time with an accuracy of one-fifth of a second in the late 1880s.

Longines watchmaking relies heavily on tradition, and as a pioneer in its field, it has always strived to manufacture the most accurate tools of its time for the professionals who need them. In its beginnings, Longines was known for equestrian sports, but the activity quickly expanded to other fields as well, and it began to manufacture instruments for pilots, explorers and athletes as well. Today, Longines is especially known as the official timekeeper for horse racing, alpine skiing, gymnastics and archery.
