Longines' roots began in 1832, but the company got its name in 1866 when it located its factory on the bank of the river Suze at the place called "Les Longines". Their first movement, a pocket watch, was produced in 1867. It was wound and set by the crown when other watches at the time were wound and set with a separate key.
Starting with this first watch, Longines engraved the now famous winged hourglass on all movements in their battle against counterfeit watches.
Longines soon became known for manufacturing elegant watches. Its latest introduction is the Master Collection.
