Compagnie des Montres Longines Francillon S.A., or just Longines, is a Swiss deluxe watchmaker based in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. Founded by Auguste Agassiz in 1832, the firm has actually been a subsidiary of the Swiss Swatch Team since 1983. Its winged hourglass logo design, which was signed up in 1889, is the earliest unchanged yet still energetic registered hallmark.
