Story & Heritage Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, Longines is one of the most prestigious names in Swiss watchmaking, internationally recognized for its precision, technical innovation and refined design. Its iconic winged hourglass logo represents nearly two centuries of horological excellence. During the mid-20th century, Longines created a remarkable variety of elegant mechanical wristwatches, including models distinguished by sophisticated dial layouts, subsidiary seconds displays and beautifully balanced proportions. Sector dials, characterized by contrasting circular elements and geometric divisions, became an important expression of classic watch design. Their architectural appearance and refined symmetry continue to attract vintage watch collectors today. This Longines Small Seconds beautifully reflects that tradition. Its golden dial, contrasting black sector ring and elegant subsidiary seconds register create a distinctive visual identity, enhanced by decades of natural ageing. A charming piece of Swiss watchmaking heritage, combining mechanical craftsmanship, timeless aesthetics and the unmistakable character of a genuine vintage Longines.
