In 1832, Auguste Agassiz established a luxury watch house called Longines. It has used a winged hourglass logo since 1867, making it the oldest registered trademark for a timepiece company. It is known for the Aviator watches that was designed by Charles Lindbergh after he made his trans-Atlantic flight. The watch is still being produced up to now.
Longines has been heavily involved in sports. They have been the official timer of the Olympic Games 14 times, including the inaugural games staged in Athens in 1896. There was also a time when a Longines analog watch would be ubiquitously displayed above the scoreboard of baseball and football stadiums around the United States. As a result, it was prominently shown during some famous games, like in “The Catch” when Dwight Clark caught a Joe Montana pass in the 1981 conference championship and in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series when Bill Mazeroski hit a walk-off homerun to help the Pittsburg Pirates win the crown.
