Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, in the heart of the Swiss Jura, the House of Longines takes its name from a local area in the valley, "Les Longines", those long meadows where its first factory was built in 1867. Its emblem, the winged hourglass, has never changed since its registration in 1889: today it is the oldest brand registered in the international register of intellectual property.
Conquest, Flagship, chronographs… These names tell the story of a house that is both pioneering and deeply elegant, which has accompanied the greatest aviators as well as the greatest sporting competitions, without ever compromising on the refinement that is its signature.
These vintage Longines cultivate a classicism of rare precision, and appeal equally to those discovering vintage watchmaking as to the most discerning collectors.
At Vintage Watch Spirit, Longines is a house close to our hearts: a heritage of great depth, finishes of beautiful quality, and that discreet charm that never goes out of style.

What styles of vintage Longines can you find?
The house produced a wide variety of watches: hand-wound dress watches, chronographs, “bullseye” dials with concentric circles that were very fashionable in the 1940s, and automatics from the 1950s and 1960s such as the Conquest and the Flagship. There is something for every style, from the most classic to the most original.
How can you tell if a vintage Longines is authentic?
An original Longines shows consistency between its dial, its signed movement and its case, and the movement’s serial number matches its era. Longines keeps very complete archives and can confirm a watch’s origin. Every piece in our selection is checked on these points before it is listed.
