Story & Heritage

Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Longines is one of the oldest continuously operating Swiss watch manufacturers and has built a reputation for elegance, precision, and technical excellence spanning nearly two centuries.

Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Longines produced some of the most refined dress watches of the era. Models such as this Small Second became symbols of understated luxury, worn by businessmen, professionals, and gentlemen who appreciated quality craftsmanship over ostentation.

The small seconds layout was particularly popular during the golden age of mechanical watchmaking, offering both technical sophistication and visual balance. Combined with the elegant Arabic numerals and slim profile, this watch captures the timeless aesthetic that made Longines one of Switzerland’s most admired manufactures.

Today, vintage Longines watches equipped with original manufacture movements are increasingly appreciated by collectors, not only for their historical significance but also for the exceptional quality of their construction. Unlike many period watches assembled using outsourced calibers, Longines was renowned for producing highly respected in-house movements that continue to perform reliably decades later.

This Longines Small Second represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of Swiss horological history from one of the industry's most prestigious and enduring names.
