On Sunday 14 December 2014, in Baku, Juan-Carlos Capelli, Vice-President and Head of International Marketing of Longines, presented for the second consecutive year the Longines Rising Star Award together with an elegant Longines watch to a young rising star in the equestrian sports. This year, the winner is the Mauritian vaulter Lambert Leclezio who demonstrated his remarkable performance and elegance on horseback. He also received an elegant Longines watch of the Conquest Classic collection. This stainless steel and pink gold watch features an exclusive Longines self-winding mechanical column wheel chronograph movement, a traditional and authentic technical device.

Lambert Leclezio is the first ever vaulter to win a FEI Award. At just 17 years old, he becomes the first athlete to represent his country at Championship level. Thanks to his admirable courage and determination, he grabs sixth place in the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.

The FEI Awards were set up in 2009 and are presented each year to individuals and organizations notably contributing to progress and excellence in equestrian sports - both indoor and outdoor. The Longines Rising Star Award is more specifically intended for riders between the ages of 14 and 21 who have shown exceptional talent in their field as well as commitment. More generally, Longines attaches great importance to supporting young sportsmen and women.

Roland Garros - also known as the French Open - is the biggest clay court tennis tournament in the world and one of the four Grand Slam events that have been the pillars of the sport for more than a century. This weekend will determine who will be this year's champions, with the women's singles final (Maria Sharapova vs Simona Halep) today and the men's (Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic) tomorrow; how long those finals will last no-one knows, but they will be timed by Longines - the Swatch Group brand that has been the official timekeeper of the tournament since 2007.

But does time really matter in tennis, since the scoring system theoretically allows a match to go on forever? Momentum is actually more important, yet there has been a timing controversy in the past few days: the only time limits in tennis are the ones in changeovers (1min.30) and between points (20s); Rafael Nadal, notorious for his elaborate routines before serving, received time violations for surpassing the allowed 20 seconds in his matches versus Dominic Thiem and Leonardo Mayer - voicing his frustration, even though he is one of the players that actually wear a watch on court (the Richard Mille RM27-01 Tourbillon Watch).

"The best thing would be to have countdown clock on the court", the Spanish champion grumbled. "That would allow us to know how many seconds we have left before serving!". Rafael Nadal feels that he is being targeted by the 'anti slow-play brigade' that has reduced the allowed time from 25 seconds to 20 seconds and strictly enforces the rule in his matches. There have been debates among officials whether adding a countdown clock would be a good idea. That would be a third clock on court, along with the existing two.

Official Timekeeper and a new watch
As official timekeeper of Roland-Garros, Longines has clocks keeping the time of day and the duration of each match that are not only visible in the corners of the main stadiums (Court Philippe Chatrier and Court Suzanne Lenglen) but also throughout the premises. The silhouette of the analogue clock on display is recognizable, from the Master collection. Yet the star is the Conquest Classic, the range exclusively comprised of models fitted with mechanical calibres that the Saint-Imier brand has been promoting in the context of the tournament. Actually, the Conquest Classic collection was launched last year precisely at Roland Garros.

Beyond the mere sponsorship and the eulogy of the Conquest Classic, Longines' dedication to tennis also includes an interesting programme promoting young players under 13 years old, the final stage of which is played in Paris during Roland Garros: the Longines Future Tennis Aces. Just like in the previous years, sixteen youngsters were brought from all over the world to have the opportunity not only to play on the French clay but also on a venue spectacularly set in the heart of Paris. Last year, it was right in front of the City Hall; this year, a court was built in the Champ de Mars, with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop.

The field was selected with the help of the tennis federations of their respective countries (Australia, China, France, Germany, Hong-Kong, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, U.K. and USA) and both the winner, Italy's Federica Rossi, and the runner-up, Russia's Daria Frayman, received an annual bursary of 2,000 USD to pay for their sports equipment until their sixteenth birthday.

Longines' association with tennis is also highlighted by the brand's partnership with two of the greatest tennis champions ever, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, married to each other and both engaged in philanthropic missions supported by Longines - the Andre Agassi Foundation (to assist the youth of Las Vegas and provide them educational opportunities, including a public school for at-risk children) and Children for Tomorrow (helping children and families that have suffered the trauma of war, exile and violence).

Win a Longines Timepiece

Take your chance to win one of the two Conquest Classic L2.786.4.56.6 watches worth CHF 2,880.

The collection La Grande Classique de Longines was presented for the first time in 1992. The Swiss watch brand now refines this collection and launches La Grande Classique de Longines 100 Diamonds - new models which combine the typical elegance of this collection with the beauty of 100 bright diamonds.

A large part of the attraction of La Grande Classique de Longines is the ultra-slim case - only 4.60 mm for the new models. This profile has been achieved through the particular design of the case, which incidentally Longines has patented, whereby the back incorporates the lugs for the bracelet.

The watch, set with 100 Top Wesselton VVS diamonds around the bezel and 12 diamond indices on the dial, is made of steel and equipped with a quartz movement. Hours and minutes are indicated on a blue dial. La Grande Classique de Longines 100 Diamonds has a diameter of 29 mm. It is fitted either on a black alligator strap with buckle or on a steel bracelet with folding safety clasp and push-piece opening mechanism. Thanks to the suppleness of its fine links, the bracelet fits snugly on the curve of the wearer's wrist.

The other two new models feature either a white mother-of-pearl or black laquered dial.

Based on a Longines model produced in the 1920s, The Longines Avigation Oversize Crown is designed for a pilot, with its 41 mm diameter, its black dial featuring white numerals and gold-plated, luminous, pear-shaped hands. It is extremely easy to read in the semi-darkness of the cockpit. Each piece in this new line is numbered.
The bezel is also marked with a single index and can be turned in both directions, enabling the pilot to set his reference points. Thanks to the fluted decoration around the bezel, it can be manipulated with great precision. And as for the oversize crown and winding stem, which stand away from the case, they enable a pilot wearing gloves good access to the bezel without coming into contact with the crown. In the original model, this bezel enabled the pilots to record time data when chronographs were still rare, as well as to record the times of important events when they were on a mission or, then and now, times of meetings.
The Longines Avigation Oversize Crown has retained the basic design of the original model, yet it is fitted with a mechanical, self-winding movement and available in three stainless steel versions. The basic version presented today shows the hours, minutes and seconds, while an alternative model has a second time-zone and the third is a single push-piece chronograph fitted with Longines' exclusive column-wheel chronograph movement (L788).

With this agreement, applied as of 1st June 2013, Longines becomes the Official Partner and the Official Watch of IFHA.
Longines will become as well the official sponsor of the "WORLD'S BEST RACEHORSES RANKINGS" classifying the top thoroughbred racehorses in the World, which is published about ten times a year by IFHA on its website (www.ifhaonline.org).
IFHA and Longines will present an award to the owners of the top three racehorses of the year during the Longines Hong Kong International Races Gala reception in December 2013.
Furthermore, an annual "Longines and IFHA International Award of Merit" will be presented to an outstanding international personality of the horseracing industry; it could be an owner, a breeder, a trainer, a jockey or any person linked with the horseracing industry.
 

Walter von Känel, President of Longines: « Longines is very proud to become the Official Partner and the Official Watch of the IFHA. This partnership represents an important step in our involvement in equestrian sports. One of our first chronographs, produced in 1878, was already made for horseraces. This agreement is true to our tradition and our passion in equestrian sports. As we become as well the official sponsor of the "WORLD'S BEST RACEHORSES RANKINGS" », we support the very important work of the IFHA, that favours the standing of equestrian sports all around the world. »
Louis Romanet, IFHA Chairman: « I am very pleased to have signed such an agreement with Longines which emphasises the role of the famous Swiss watchmaker as the very first partner of the worldwide horseracing industry. Thanks to Longines, we will be able to increase the promotion of the best racehorses and to honour the personality who will have left his mark on the racing season at international level. »

Having launched a watch fitted with an exclusive, self-winding chronograph movement with a column wheel which controls the chronograph functions in 2009, Longines has now identified new uses for this exceptional, user-friendly calibre. Longines mandated and paid ETA to develop this brand-new exclusive movement. Under the name of The Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph, these latest models represent an updated version of the timing equipment that Longines has developed over the years.
Longines mandated and paid ETA to develop a brand-new exclusive self-winding movement with a column wheel for a wrist chronograph. The reference number given to the new calibre was L688.2. As part of the continual programme of reviving the mechanical watch that was started at the beginning of the 21st century, this new creation meets the requirements of changing demand with regard to watches as well as the growing popularity of mechanical chronographs and the fascination for traditional horological devices. Column-wheel chronographs correspond to the new taste in watches. As part of the line of timing instruments created by Longines, this calibre constitutes the present-day embodiment of the far-reaching experience in mechanical time-keeping that is the heritage of the famous Swiss watchmaker.
Longines started producing timing equipment in 1878 with a simple 20 line chronograph (reference no. 20H) that had a column wheel that controlled the chronograph functions. Almost all the timing devices designed by Longines following this foray into the world of time-keeping used the same basic concept. Thus the calibres for pocket chronographs designed by Longines, such as the 19CH (1889), the 19.73 (1897), the 19.73N (1909) and the 19.73N fly-back (1922), the 18.72 (1929) or the 24 line calibre designed specifically for sports timing (1939), as well as the brand's movements for wrist chronographs such as the 13.33Z (1913), the famous 13ZN (1946) or the 30CH (1947) all used column-wheel systems to control and activate the chronograph functions, which varied from one calibre to another.
All this timing equipment forms the basis for Longines' historical involvement in timing and the world of sport. At Longines, the mechanical column-wheel chronograph is therefore a traditional and authentic, technical device. The Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph models perpetuate this watchmaking heritage into the 21st century using cutting-edge technology.
Fitted with 27 jewels, the L688.2 movement is a self-winding calibre with a diameter of 30 mm and a height of 7.90 mm. The purpose of its column wheel is to control the chronograph functions (start, stop, return to zero). This system, and in particular the column wheel that was designed by ETA's engineers, is exceptionally user-friendly for a mechanical chronograph, requiring only the finest touch to start and stop the mechanism and to reset the hands at zero. The blued steel column wheel is surrounded by the fascinating beauty of a movement which is in fact an updated version of a traditional technical system. In addition to its refined design, the L688.2 calibre reveals a construction designed to meet the demands of timing. Longines has so far created several timepieces as a tribute to this high-tech movement. The combination of these timing features and the re-issue of an elegant, traditional or sporty design results in several The Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph models that are contemporary watches steeped in the great tradition of mechanical timing.

For the first model of The Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph, Longines has used traditional, elegant lines that are reminiscent of the timepieces that formed the basis of the brand's success during the 20th century. This model has a stainless steel or rose gold case with a diameter of 39 mm that houses the L688.2 calibre; the movement can be admired through the transparent sapphire back cover. With its dauphine-style, rose hands mounted on a silvered dial featuring 8 hour symbols, The Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph also shows the date and has a small seconds at 9 o'clock, a dragging 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a dragging 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock. This high-tech wrist chronograph is fitted on a dark brown alligator strap.

In the case of the second The Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph model, priority has been given to sleek, classical beauty. The L688.2 calibre is housed in a stainless steel or rose gold case with a diameter of 39 mm and its dauphine-style, rhodium-plated hands are set on a silvered dial featuring 13 hour symbols. With a date, a small seconds at 9 o'clock, a dragging 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a dragging 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, this watch modestly contains a movement that can be admired through the transparent sapphire back cover. It is mounted on a dark brown alligator strap.In the case of the second The Longines Column-Wheel Chronograph model, priority has been given to sleek, classical beauty.

Finally, the design of the third model focuses on the particular performance of the L688.2. Named The Longines Column-Wheel Sports Chronograph, this robust, sporty timepiece houses the chronograph calibre in a 41 mm diameter, stainless steel case with a screw-in, transparent back cover. This model - designed specifically for performance - has a steel or black or grey ceramic bezel that surrounds a silvered, black lacquered or brushed grey sunburst dial. It is available on a choice of bracelets: stainless steel or stainless steel with central links in black or grey ceramic, or on a rubber strap. With a date, a small seconds at 9 o'clock, a dragging 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a dragging 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, The Longines Column-Wheel Sports Chronograph is a marriage of the beauty of performance and the marvels of cutting-edge technology.
Based in St. Imier in Switzerland since 1832, the watchmaker Longines can look back on more than 175 years of non-stop craftsmanship, as well as a solid heritage as timekeeper for world championships in various sports and collaborator with different international sports federations. Known for the elegance of its timepieces, Longines is a member of the Swatch Group Ltd, the World's leading manufacturer of horological products. With the winged hourglass as its emblem, the brand has outlets in over 130 countries.
