ew years, Longines would design an electromechanical calibre intended for observatory competitions and would time Donald Campbell aboard his high-speed Bluebird II car as it raced across Lake Eyre in Australia to set a world record. The self-winding Calibre L340 was then developed, featuring in the brand’s Ultra-Chron collection, along with the revival of the quartz watch in the form of the Ultra Quartz models.

During the quartz crisis of the 1970s, Longines remained firm in its manufacture of automatic movements but also created the flattest lady’s quartz watch in 1979 before focusing its attention on bringing out the La Grande Classique collection, which was instantly met with resounding success. For ten years Longines was made the official timekeeper for F1 races and during the ’80s enveloped watches fitted with the V.H.P quartz movement. The 90s saw the release of the DolveVita watch collection as well as the company’s “Elegance is an Attitude” slogan. During 2003, Longines’ barrel-shaped watches came into fashion, followed by the perfectly round Master watch collection equipped with an incredibly reliable self-winding movement.

In 2007 the Longines Sport collection was born with four sub-categories; HydroConquest, Conquest, GrandeVitesse and Admiral. These timepieces cemented the company’s ties with the sporting industry, including its role as partner and official timekeeper of the French Open Tennis Championship at Roland Garros, and the Alpine skiing competitions. The Longines Prima Luna collection was released in 2009 followed by the St Imier collection three years later. The brand’s more recent innovations include colourful models from the HydroConquest collection, finished with luminescent dials and equipped with a screw down water resistant casing, as well as the Longines Aviation Oversize models.

Longines has since collaborated with the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) and celebrated the year of the horse with a special Equestrian Lepine Pocket Watch in rose gold. Continuing to build on its foundations of authentic, genuine Swiss watch manufacture, Longines stands proud as an innovator and pioneer of aviation tools, divers watches, classic dress watches and timekeeping instruments for the sporting world.
