  • The History:

Founded in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz and his partners, Henri Raiguel and Floria Morel, Longines began producing timepieces in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. After his retirement, Agassiz brought on his nephew, Ernest Francillon, in 1852, who led the effort to buy land for a factory and modernize production.  The company built the factory in an area known for its long meadows (les longines), and in 1867 adopted the name Longines.  

  • The Watch:

The Longines Heritage Military features a 38.5mm stainless steel case with a domed sapphire crystal, a solid case back, and a large crown.  The opaline ivory-colored dial features a railroad-style minute track, large Arabic numerals, and blued steel hands.  Powered by the automatic Caliber L888.5 movement, the Heritage Military features a 72-hour power reserve.
