In the mid-1850s, Ernest Francillon, Agassiz's nephew, took over the management. Francillon consolidated the scattered manufacturing processes of watches into one location, striving to improve the 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, where watch assembly and finishing could be done in a mechanical manner in one place. Francillon later brought in a young engineer from his family, Jacques David, to develop the necessary machinery to improve the watchmaking process. Production continued to expand constantly until the 1930s. By 1911, the \"Longines Factory\" employed over 1,100 workers and was exporting its products worldwide. Longines' technical research efforts were rewarded in various ways, winning over 10 Grand Prix awards by the time of 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 is registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and continues to use the same registered trademark and logo as in the past. Evolving manufacturing techniques in the factory gradually established a special relationship with the world of sports, 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, 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 founding in 1832, continues 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;\"\u003eJuly 12, 2024\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¥ 172,000.00 JPY\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LONGINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42183950663764,"sku":"L4.908.1.91.7","price":171462.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/7401\/5828\/files\/f5e38a95eabd5631ac8eb9aa950955b0.jpg?v=1750823101","url":"https:\/\/www.ippojapanwatch.com\/products\/longines-mens-metal-strap-watch-parallel-import-with-2-year-warranty-l4-908-1-91-7","provider":"IPPO JAPAN WATCH ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
