LONGINES AUTOMATIC CONQUEST ref 9044/1

Longines – Timeless Elegance Since 1832 Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland by Auguste Agassiz, Longines is one of the oldest registered watch brands still in operation. The company adopted the winged hourglass logo in 1889, now the oldest unchanged trademark still in use in the watch industry. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Longines gained worldwide recognition for its precise chronometers and pioneering role in aviation and navigation. It supplied timekeeping instruments for early explorers and pilots, including Charles Lindbergh, who co-designed the famous Hour Angle Watch with the brand in 1931. Longines also became a trusted name in sports timing, serving as official timekeeper for numerous international events, from the Olympic Games to equestrian competitions. Today, Longines is celebrated for combining Swiss watchmaking tradition with understated elegance, offering a wide range of classic timepieces — from its Heritage Collection to the iconic DolceVita, HydroConquest, and Master Collection lines.
