In the mid-1850s, Ernest Francillon, Agassiz's nephew, took over the business. Francillon consolidated the scattered manufacturing processes into one location to improve watchmaking methods. In 1867, at a place called \"Longines\" on the right bank of the Suze River in the Saint-Imier valley, the \"Longines Factory\" was established to assemble and finish watches using mechanical methods in one place. Francillon later brought in a young engineer from the family, Jacques David, to develop the necessary machinery to enhance the watchmaking process. Production continued to expand until the 1930s. By 1911, the \"Longines Factory\" employed over 1,100 workers and shipped its products worldwide. Longines' technical research efforts were rewarded in various forms, winning over 10 Grand Prix awards by the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, establishing itself as the \"most awarded brand.\" In 1989, Francillon registered the name Longines and the winged hourglass logo as trademarks. Longines is a brand that has evolved in watchmaking technology at its factory, gradually building special relationships with the world of sports and offering its expertise in various fields, including the iconic sports of the 20th century. Since its founding in 1832, Longines has been based in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, continuing to create watches with the themes of \"tradition,\" \"elegance,\" and \"performance.\"\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" style=\"font-weight:800; padding:5px;background:#d9d9d9;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eLongines, a popular watch brand that has been based in Saint-Imier, Switzerland since its establishment in 1832, continues to create timepieces with the themes of \"tradition,\" \"elegance,\" and \"performance.\"\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LONGINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42183950991444,"sku":"L4.778.8.12.0","price":352053.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/7401\/5828\/files\/8763afa23a7af93d73e77c4114fa6f39.jpg?v=1750823163","url":"https:\/\/www.ippojapanwatch.com\/ja\/products\/longines-mens-leather-belt-parallel-import-2-year-warranty-l4-778-8-12-0","provider":"IPPO JAPAN WATCH ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
