In the mid-1850s, Ernest Francillon, Agassiz's nephew, took over the business. Francillon consolidated the scattered watchmaking processes into one location to improve manufacturing methods. In 1867, he established the \"Longines Factory\" on the right bank of the Suze River in Saint-Imier, where watch assembly and finishing could be mechanized in one place. Francillon later brought in his young relative, engineer 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 was shipping 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 the brand as the most awarded. In 1989, Francillon trademarked the name Longines and the winged hourglass logo. Longines, registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), is a brand that continues to use its original registered trademark and logo from its inception. Evolving manufacturing techniques at the factory gradually forged special relationships with the sports world, providing expertise in various fields including the flagship sports of the 20th century. Since its founding in 1832, Longines has been based in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, upholding the themes of \"tradition,\" \"elegance,\" and \"performance\" in watchmaking.\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, founded in 1832 and based in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, has been dedicated to watchmaking with the themes of \"tradition,\" \"elegance,\" and \"performance\" since its inception.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LONGINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42184024358996,"sku":"L3.759.4.96.0","price":93881.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/7401\/5828\/files\/IPPOL3.759.4.96.0.011500.jpg?v=1769697328","url":"https:\/\/www.ippojapanwatch.com\/ja\/products\/longines-mens-leather-belt-parallel-import-with-2-year-warranty-l3-759-4-96-0","provider":"IPPO JAPAN WATCH ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
