Longines: A Brief History of Elegance
Longines is a Swiss luxury watch brand that has been creating high-quality timepieces since 1832 with a strong focus on precision and elegance, making it a favourite among watch enthusiasts for over a century. Longines introduced its first wristwatch for women in 1911, a delicate timepiece featuring a 13.33Z movement. This breakthrough led them to continue producing women’s watches throughout the 1920s and 1930s, often featuring Art Deco designs that were popular at the time.
During World War II, Longines focused on producing military watches for men, but after the war ended, the company resumed producing women’s watches. In the
1950s and 1960s, Longines introduced a series of elegant and sophisticated women’s watches, many of which featured diamond accents and intricate designs.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Longines continued to innovate in the women’s watch market, introducing models with quartz movements and slim profiles. The company also collaborated with famous designers and celebrities, including Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn, to create iconic women’s watches.
Today, Longines women’s watches come in many models, from classic and timeless designs to modern and sporty styles. The brand continues to prioritise precision and elegance, and its watches for women remain a favourite among collectors and fashion-conscious consumers alike.
