Not Just Watches. Stories.

Longines is offering more than just a book. It's a look into the lives and times that shaped its iconic watches.

"Longines Watches That Made History" isn't your typical brand chronicle. Written by Pierre-André Schmitt, it dives into the stories behind the watches, pairing each with the historical moments or people that defined them. This isn't just about timepieces; it's about context and character.

The book spans continents and centuries, linking notable Longines models to their owners or pivotal events. It's a reminder of how these watches weren't just accessories but tools in overcoming challenges and marking milestones.

Patrick Aoun, Longines' CEO, highlights the brand's pioneering spirit through these stories. The book doesn't stop at science and aviation; it also covers cultural figures like Yves Montand and sports legends like Joe Louis. There's even a nod to Longines' impact on Formula 1 timing.

With around 400 images, many previously unpublished, this 288-page hardcover is rich in archival content and technical detail. Published by teNeues, it's available in multiple languages including English, German, and Japanese.

For those interested in more than just mechanics, this book offers a deeper dive into what makes Longines tick.
