In the mid-1850s, Ernest Francillon, Agassiz's nephew, took over the business. Francillon consolidated the scattered manufacturing processes of watches into one location to improve watchmaking methods. In 1867, at a place called \"Longines\" on the right bank of the Suze River in the Santimier Valley, the \"Longines Factory\" was established, where watch assembly and finishing could be done in a mechanical manner in one place. Francillon then brought in his young relative, engineer Jacques David, to develop the necessary machinery to improve 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 ways, 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 its watchmaking technology in the factory, gradually establishing special relationships with the sports world and providing its expertise in various fields, including the iconic sports of the 20th century. Since its founding in 1832, Longines has been based in Santimier, 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, based in Santimier, Switzerland since its founding in 1832, is a brand that has continued to create watches with the themes of \"tradition,\" \"elegance,\" and \"performance.\"\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #5d5d5d;font-weight:600;\"\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #5d5d5d;font-weight:600;\"\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e2023\/09\/20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #5d5d5d;font-weight:600;\"\u003eRetail Price\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e￥ 308,000.00 JPY\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LONGINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42183930052692,"sku":"L2.908.4.78.6","price":305411.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/7401\/5828\/files\/20dee3686711c13e1d4c9b981d98ec15.jpg?v=1750820737","url":"https:\/\/www.ippojapanwatch.com\/ja\/products\/longines-mens-metal-belt-parallel-import-with-2-year-warranty-l2-908-4-78-6","provider":"IPPO JAPAN WATCH ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
