Longines available at Hour Passion - Ingolstadt Village

Longines watchmaking reflects the brand's deeply rooted values of tradition, elegance and excellence. The slogan ‘Elegance is an attitude’, which has accompanied Longines since the 1990s, also describes the brand's philosophy. Elegance is far more than an outward appearance; it should be perceptible in all aspects of an act or a personality.

Longines has been inextricably linked to the world of sport since its beginnings. From its first chronograph in 1878, which was already being used on American racetracks in the 1880s, to its ‘thread break’ system for automatic timekeeping in 1912 and Chronocinégines, which broke precision records from 1954 onwards: all these inventions have played a key role in making the Longines name part of the annals of sport. Today, Longines is involved in equestrian sports and is also the official timekeeper of the Commonwealth Games.
