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 the watchmaking 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 done in a mechanized manner 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 exporting its products worldwide. Longines' technological 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, registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), is a brand that uses the same registered trademark and logo since its inception. Evolving watchmaking technology at the factory gradually built special relationships with the sports world, providing 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 since its establishment in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, has been dedicated to creating timepieces 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\"\u003e2025\/01\/27\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¥ 127,000.00 JPY\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LONGINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42184017805396,"sku":"L4.709.2.21.7","price":130877.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/7401\/5828\/files\/8e11adf20be3124947ab2bf650139cc3.jpg?v=1750825380","url":"https:\/\/www.ippojapanwatch.com\/products\/longines-unisex-metal-strap-watch-parallel-imported-with-2-year-guarantee-l4-709-2-21-7","provider":"IPPO JAPAN WATCH ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
