Faqs

Which recommendations should I follow to make sure that my Longines watch continues to function for many years to come?

• Magnetic fields: avoid putting your watch on a loudspeaker or on a refrigerator because these machines create magnetic fields that may damage it.
• Salt-water: always rinse your watch in fresh water after swimming in the sea.
• Shocks: avoid subjecting your watch to shocks, including sudden changes in temperature.
• Screw-in crown: always make sure you have screwed the crown in fully to avoid any humidity getting into the mechanism.
• Push-in crown: always push the crown back in to the neutral position to avoid any humidity getting into the mechanism.
• Cleaning: use a toothbrush and soapy water to clean metal bracelets and water resistant cases and a soft cloth to dry off afterwards.
• Chemical products: avoid all direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfume, cosmetics, etc. which may damage the bracelet or strap, the case or the seals.
• Temperatures: avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (over 60 ° C or 140 ° F and under 0 ° C or 32 ° F) and to sudden fluctuations in temperature.
• Water-resistance: we cannot guarantee that your watch will be permanently water resistant. The seal may be affected by wear or by an accidental shock to the crown.
As recommended in our service instructions, you should have the water-resistant seals of your watch tested once a year by an approved Longines agent.
• Chronograph push-pieces: do not adjust the pushpieces under water as this may allow humidity to get into the mechanism.

Brand Heritage

Longines Watches Brand History

Longines Watches Brand History

Longines’ passion for equestrian sport dates back to 1878, when it produced a chronograph engraved with a jockey and his mount. Today, Longines’ involvement in equestrian sports includes flat racing, show-jumping and endurance competitions. The brand can also boast its involvement in some of the most famous flat-racing events in the world, such as the Prix de Diane Longines, the Dubai World Cup, the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Royal Ascot, the H.H. The Emir’s Trophy presented by Longines, the Longines Singapore Gold Cup, the Melbourne Cup Carnival, the Gran Premio Longines, the Longines Handicap de las Américas, the Grand Prix Longines Lydia Tesio, the Longines Grosser Preis von Baden and the famous Kentucky Derby.

In 1832, the Saint-Imier watchmaking establishment was founded by Auguste Agassiz, brother of the famous naturalist Louis Agassiz. Auguste and his two partners made and sold pocket watches with crown-wheel escapements similar to those produced by the Swiss watchmaking industry in general. In 2012, Longines launched the Longines Saint-Imier Collection, a tribute to the village where the company was born and where it still remains today. This collection is made up of watches moved by some of the brand’s most prestigious mechanical calibres and is inspired by both its heritage of watchmaking know-how and its roots. A collection that remains faithful to the Longines values: tradition, elegance, quality and accuracy. For more information, visit <a href="www.longines.com">www.longines.com</a>
