Longines's becoming synonymous with precision, the whole process thanks to the continuous efforts of time. Sponsored by the 1899 Longines Louis-Amadeus Arctic expedition led by Earl of activities to provide for a variety of temperature changes in polar five pocket design, and by strongly commended. Earl wrote: "No matter how bad climate change by, Longines has always been to maintain the most accurate of the time" "The Longines chronometers kept the exact time, despite the enormous temperature variations to which they were subjected." After the expedition, Many other explorers have opted for Longines as specified timer.
Another great record, Captain JE Bernier-Arctic in 1894, sailed from the United States to the North Pole adventure.

This not only lengthen the production time and greater difficulty of quality control. So in 1866 he began plans to build a place to sit Longines watch a large factory, all parts of the manufacturing and assembly plants concentrated in the internal operation; the following year declared completed in 1867, and the plant location as Longines watch factory name.
The first ten years in the business, financial and technical Longines suffered major test, but all my colleagues in the watch with the support of the factory over the hump, and opened the world famous brand Longines.
