Longines
was founded in 1832, and since that time it has become one of the
superstars of fine Swiss watch manufacturing. They not only carry an
impressive selection of in-house calibers, but they have outfitted some
of the world’s most famous explorers—aviator Charles Lindbergh and polar
explorer Roald Amundsen to name but two.
