To comply with complex US tariff regulations and high import duties on fully assembled luxury watches, Longines exported raw, un-cased watch movements directly from Switzerland. Once the movements arrived in New York, Wittnauer housed them in locally manufactured, US-sourced cases. \u003cspan\u003eThe stamp \u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\"Longines-Wittnauer Co.
