In 1832, Swiss watchmaker Auguste Agassiz formed a partnership with two other watchmakers.
Together, the three set to run the Raiguel Jeune et Cie comptoir, which would later gradually become the Agassiz comptoir, or the Agassiz factory. The watch parts were all produced domestically, meticulously created in workshops by highly skilled craftsmen, before they were assembled, and finally distributed by Augusted Agassiz himself. The comptoir’s watches are all ancestors of the Longines watches we know and love today.
