At World's Fairs and international expositions Longines watches have won ten grand prizes and twenty-eight gold medal awards, and this observatory accuracy certificate is but one of literally thousands of prizes, bulletins, and citations with which Longines watches have been honored by the world's great government observatories. It is a fact that throughout the world no other name on a watch means so much as Longines, the world's most honored watch, premier product of the Longines Wittnauer Watch Company, since 1866, maker of watches of the highest character.
