Longines Welcomes Henry Cavill — ​ Timeless Elegance in a Modern Spirit

Longines is proud to welcome Henry Cavill as its newest Ambassador of Elegance. The acclaimed actor brings a unique blend of refinement and authenticity that perfectly embodies the brand’s ethos that elegance is an attitude.

This partnership represents Longines’ legacy of collaborating with individuals who exemplify true elegance in both their professional excellence and personal conduct. As an Ambassador of Elegance, Cavill will join Longines in celebrating the timeless sophistication that has characterized the brand since its founding in 1832.

Matthias Breschan, Longines’ CEO, warmly welcomed this new partnership: “In Henry, we recognize a real affinity with our brand’s values. His sophistication, genuine warmth and multifaceted personality reflect what elegance means today. Whether commanding the screen in epic productions or sharing his passions for aviation and equestrianism, he maintains an authenticity and grace that makes him a clear embodiment of the Longines spirit.”
“What draws me to Longines is their understated elegance,” says Cavill. “True quality doesn’t need to announce itself. It’s evident in every detail and in every action. This is a philosophy, backed by generations of precision craftsmanship and artistry, that resonates deeply with my own values.”

Henry Cavill has established himself as one of the most versatile actors of his generation. From his globally-beloved portrayal of Superman in the DC universe, to Mission: Impossible - Fallout, to Guy Ritchie's The Man from UNCLE and more, Cavill has demonstrated remarkable range as a performer. He continues to evolve as an artist by pursuing projects that speak to his genuine interests, including executive producing and starring in an adaptation of the Warhammer 40,000 universe for Amazon Prime Video. He will star next in the live-action Voltron film for Amazon MGM Studios.

Beyond the screen, Cavill is known for defying expectations. An accomplished actor who is also passionate about gaming, he brings the same dedication and finesse to every pursuit. This extends to his production company, Promethean Productions, which focuses on developing original storytelling that carries both meaning and impact.

As Longines embarks on this new chapter, Cavill plans to take time out from his many upcoming projects to visit the brand's historic headquarters in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, where he will have the pleasure of seeing firsthand the dedication to craftsmanship that has defined the Swiss watchmaker for nearly two centuries.

About Longines

Longines Watch Co. Francillon Ltd. has been based in Saint-Imier (Switzerland) since 1832. Its watchmaking expertise reflects a strong devotion to tradition, elegance and performance. In its early days, the firm was run by Auguste Agassiz and was a “comptoir” or trading office like many others in the area. The watches were produced under the “établissage” system, whereby watchmakers worked at home. In 1867, Ernest Francillon, Agassiz’s nephew and successor decided to abandon this production method and he brought together the different stages that go toward making a watch under one roof. The Longines factory was born. From then on, the factory in Saint-Imier steadily developed and produced many horological creations that gained international recognition. Longines was rewarded by various prizes, which gradually gave the company its reputation of winning the most awards in international and world exhibitions. In 1889, Francillon patented a trademark comprising the name Longines and its now famous winged hourglass. Longines also made a name of itself in sports timekeeping and designed timing equipment that gained the brand a worldwide reputation. Using its expertise, the brand established a network of advantageous links with the world of sport, which enabled it to offer its skilled services to various prestigious sports.
