History of Longines
Longines is a prestigious Swiss luxury watch company, part of the Swatch group. It is positioned in the high-end market. The winged hourglass of the brand is the oldest model registered in the register of the World Intellectual Property Organization, still valid and unchanged.
It was created in Saint-Imier in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz. It highlights the dual activity of watchmaking and sports timing. The brand takes its name from the Longines in Saint-Imier, where the factory is located.
Longines' product series is very diverse, divided into classic series and sports series, the most common of which are still the master series (retro models) and the hydropower conquest series (diving watches).
In 2021, it was the fifth most profitable watch brand in the world at the time. It is often seen as a direct competitor to TAG Heuer, especially in the US market, as well as Longines' well-established Tudor in Asia. In particular, the brand is trying to establish itself on the high-end market by launching the ULTRA-CHRON model with a high-frequency mechanism (5Hz) based on the ETA 28247.
I need a watch winder for my Longines watch ?
If you don't wear your Longines every day, consider putting it on a watch winder, because your Longines needs to be wound a certain number of times a day to fully wind the mainspring and extend its life.
A watch winder is a luxury device that maintains your Longines without worrying about winding it.
But if you wear your Longines every day, you don't need to put it in your winder.
Rotation direction for Longines
The watch winder must work properly to properly wind your Longines. It must be able to rotate clockwise, counter-clockwise and in both directions.
If your Longines needs to be wound clockwise, turning your watch counter-clockwise will not power it, so it will not be wound. To find out the direction of rotation of your Longines, you can follow our winding parameters for Longines.
Tours per day for Longines
