Hamilton Military Watch
Longines – Just Another Brand?
Since its creation in 1832, Longines has been at the forefront of groundbreaking advances in technology. This type of behaviour has helped the company compete in a very competitive market and keep them in the minds of consumers. For example, in 1912 Longines made history by introducing the principle of the electric wire to act as a timing mechanism for sporting events. This groundbreaking activity helped the company to further itself at the time, and because this principle is still used in many Olympic sports in the modern day, the Longines brand still maintains its status and reputation today.
Longines has also established a reputation for itself by being involved with aviation and navigation – another useful add on to its brand. Furthering its acclaimed success in 1912, Longines timed Charles Lindbergh’s first solo transatlantic flight from New York to Paris. This was an extremely useful brand exercise for Longines as Charles Lindbergh became an extremely well known man; mostly for his triumphant aviator acclaim and also partly for being awarded the Medal of Honor – the highest military decoration one can get in America. The success of Lindbergh was obviously something Longines wanted to be associated with.
Longines Watchess
Longines are also at the forefront of other technological innovations for example it has had a good history with creating new watches. Amongst many of its creations, it created the first cybernetic watch in 1960 and the Feuille d’Or – the world’s thinnest quartz watch in 1979. Longines’ watches are available to purchase in many stores, for example Ernest Jones have a vast range of watches http://www.ernestjones.co.uk/webstore/link/category/watches/brand/longines/
ranging from the low hundreds to almost £3000.
Despite all of its technological advancements, Longines has managed to keep elegance and prestige. This shapes what the brand is about and is why many of its innovations are still used in various sports today. Its acute precision and innovative approach together with its style, elegance and beauty is why the brand has become one of the most popular and well-known brands today.
The Longines brand is part of the Swatch Group – an internationally known company operating in various markets including jewellery, watches, and watch movements. Some of the other brands the Swatch Group deal with include Rado, Tissot, Omega and Hamilton to name a few.
