Longines

Founded in 1832 by Auguste Agassiz, Longines is one of the oldest and most respected Swiss watch brands, known for its elegant timepieces, precision sports timing, and strong aviation heritage. The brand's winged hourglass logo is the oldest registered trademark for a watchmaker. Famous models include the HydroConquest, the Master Collection, and the Spirit, a tribute to pioneering aviators. Longines has produced numerous iconic in-house movements, such as the Calibre 13ZN and 30CH chronographs, highly prized by collectors. Longines continues to embody Elegance is an attitude," blending tradition with contemporary appeal."

Yoke

The yoke is part of the keyless works in a watch movement and helps shift the sliding pinion between winding and hand-setting positions. It works together with the setting lever, stem, and clutch components to control crown functions. Yokes are commonly replaced when worn, bent, broken, or causing issues with winding, time-setting, or crown position changes.
