Overview & history
Founded in Saint-Imier, Switzerland in 1832, Longines - marked with its winged-hourglass logo - is prized by collectors for its historically important vintage chronographs (the legendary 13ZN and 30CH calibers) and for elegant solid-gold dress watches. Everyday vintage gold-filled pieces are accessible, while solid-gold dress watches and, especially, original vintage chronographs command considerably more. Longines can supply an archive extract confirming a watch's production details.
Identifying & marks
Look for the winged-hourglass logo and 'Longines' on the dial and movement, with a serial number that dates the piece (an archive extract confirms details); the movement caliber matters greatly on vintage chronographs.
