Watch Description

SPECIAL EDITION in tribute of Mr. Ernest Francillon, largely credited for the success & fame of the Longines brand: In 1832, Mr. Auguste Agassiz entered the world of watchmaking by establishing a partnership with a watchmaking counter in Saint-Imier. Before long, he quickly took control of the enterprise and renamed it “Agassiz & compagnie”. At the time, the company assembled watches with people working at home, and developed trade links around the world, particularly in North America. In the 1850s, Ernest Francillon, a nephew of Agassiz, took over management of the reputed company and looked for ways to improve the traditional manufacturing methods. His idea was to group the different operations in to one factory. To bring this project to fruition in 1866 he purchased two adjoining plots of land called called “Les Longines” on the right bank of the river Suze in the Saint-Imier valley. Ernest Francillon then employed a young relative, an engineer named Jacques David to help develop the project. By the 1870's, the industrial approach that Francillon had chosen proved highly successful and the factory continued to grow. By 1911, the Longines factory employed more than 1100 people and its watches were being distributed around the world.This watch features: Solid 18KT Rose gold case with a hobnail case edge texture. Black crocodile strap with rose gold tang buckle. Flat white dial with applied rose gold Roman Numeral hour markers. Painted black index minute markers. Elegant rose gold leaf shaped hands. Date window displayed at the 3 o'clock position. A raised solid Rose Gold bust of Mr. Ernest Francillon adorns the case back (above the sapphire crystal display case back.
