Longines
Longines' passion for equestrian sports dates back to 1878, when the brand produced a chronograph engraved with a jockey and his mount. Seen on the racetracks as early as 1881, this model was extremely popular among jockeys and horse-lovers. Today Longines’ involvement in equestrian sports continues to grow, and includes strong associations with show jumping, flat racing, eventing, dressage and driving competitions. The brand finds in these disciplines the expression of the values it upholds: Tradition, Elegance and Performance.
Based in Saint-Imier in Switzerland since 1832, the watchmaking company Longines wields expertise steeped in tradition, elegance and performance. With generations of experience as official timekeeper of world championships, and as partner of international sports federations, Longines has built strong and long-lasting relationships in the world of sport over the years. Known for the elegance of its timepieces, Longines is a member of Swatch Group Ltd., the world’s leading watch manufacturer. The Longines brand, with its winged hourglass emblem, is established in over 150 countries.
