Longines
Longines is a luxury watch company founded by Ernest Francillon at Saint-Imier, Switzerland. Its origins can be traced back to the 1830s and it currently holds the oldest registered logo for a watch company (a winged hourglass). Longines is currently owned by the Swatch Group.
Longines is famous for its 'Aviators' watches. One director of Longines was a personal friend of Charles Lindbergh; after his transatlantic flight, Lindbergh designed a pilot watch to help with air navigation. The watch was actually built to his specifications, and is still produced today.
It is said that Albert Einstein used a Longines pocket watch. Longines watches have been worn by many celebrities, including Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, Aishwarya Rai, Chiling Lin, Billy Zane and Harry Connick Jr.
