formed in the 1830s by Ernest Francillon at Saint-Imier, Switzerland and has
always been renowned for design and precision. Famous aviators, explorers and
pioneers have all consulted Longines. The company provided timers used at the
first modern day Olympics in 1892 and has been closely associated with the
worldwide development of sport timing ever since. It has been responsible for
timekeeping at no less than fourteen Olympic Games. For more information on the
