On Friday 13 November 2015, Longines had the honor to present the Longines Rising Star Award to an outstanding young equestrian athlete. This year, the award was presented to British show jumping rider Jessica Mendoza by Juan-Carlos Capelli, Vice-President of Longines and Head of International Marketing. He also awarded her an elegant Longines watch from the new Longines DolceVita collection, which celebrates contemporary elegance and feminity, and is therefore a perfect match for the talented young female athlete.

The recipient of the 2015 Longines Rising Star Award Jessica Mendoza can already look back on an impressive track record at only nineteen years old. In the last twelve months alone, she has won over 10 major competitions and she recently finished second at the prestigious Longines FEI World Cup^TM Jumping in Helsinki. This summer, she also became the youngest British athlete in forty years to compete at the 2015 European Jumping Championships. Thanks to her determination and hard work, Jessica Mendoza is now competing alongside and against the world's most successful show jumping athletes. She is known as being focused, cool under pressure and she is a true role model in the equestrian community.

The FEI Awards were set up in 2009 and are presented each year to individuals and organizations contributing to progress and excellence in equestrian sports - both indoor and outdoor. The Longines Rising Star Award rewards athletes between the ages of 14 and 21 who demonstrate outstanding sporting talent.

FEI's Top Partner Longines timed the victory of the German riders at the Longines FEI European Eventing Championship 2015 in Blair Castle, in the presence of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II, who presented them the medals. The winners received team gold by more than 50 penalties and the matchless Michael Jung captured the fifth individual title of his career.

This equestrian event took place in the Scottish Highlands from 10 to 13 September 2015 and the Swiss watchmaker was associated to it as the Title Partner, Official Timekeeper and Watch. In addition, Longines is also involved as Official Partner, Timekeeper and Watch in both eventing competitions CCI4* Luhlmuhlen and CIC3* Luhlmuhlen in Germany.

The Official Watch in Blair Castle was a stainless steel Longines Conquest Classic Moonphase watch. This model houses a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement, a true symbol of precision and technique. Its refined silvered dial displays the moon phases, echoing the excellence and elegance of the equestrian sport stars.

On the occasion of the 2015, Longines also set a new clock at the start of the cross country round. This clock displays the countdown until the start of each run, which is determined at a fixed time. The new device also beeps the last five seconds prompting the rider to start the run, which should not occur before the last beep.

This weekend, the best riders and horses were gathered in the French capital for the Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping, the eighth stage of the Longines Global Champions Tour. On Saturday, after a thrilling trial, Bertram Allen on Romanov won the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Paris, followed by Diniz Luciana (Portugal) on Fit For Fun 13 and Darragh Kenny (Ireland) on Sans Souci Z.

For the second year running, the Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping is included in the Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT), a prestigious 15-stage tour of which Longines is the Title Partner and Official Timekeeper since 2013. In addition, this 5* show jumping event, the highest category in the FEI's hierarchy, counts towards the world's ranking of the discipline: the Longines Rankings.

This event was the perfect opportunity to discover the Longines DolceVita collection. Since its inception, this line has illustrated worldwide the brand's contemporary elegance. This year Longines has decided to offer a new interpretation of this collection, subtly combining geometric lines with soft curves.  
The Official Watch of the Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping, decorated with diamonds and cased in steel, features a silver-coloured "flinque" dial adorned with painted Roman numerals. Driven by their quartz movement, the blued-steel hands point to the passing hours and minutes. This timepiece is mounted on a stainless steel bracelet.

The Prix de Diane Longines, the world's top race for fillies, offered last week-end a spectacular sporting rendezvous at the Chantilly racecourse. Lanfranco Dettori on Star of Seville won the coveted title of this top-level flat race day in front of more than 45'000 spectators.

Longines was associated with this event as Title Partner, Official Timekeeper and Official Watch. Longines Ambassador of Elegance Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was present at Chantilly and awarded Sandra Challal with the "Mademoiselle Diane par Longines" prize for her outstanding style.

The Night Turf St. Moritz took place on Friday evening 6 February 2015, on
the frozen lake of the renowned Swiss alpine resort,prior to the first White Turf race Sunday. Longines was the Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of this unique event, as well as the Title Partner of the Longines Show-Sprint Race, which Cheryl Schoch on Boccalino won in style.

The event was enlightened by many celebrities, such as Nicola Spirig, Triathlon World Champion, Ariella Kaeslin, Gymnastics European Champion, Bruno Kernen, Downhill World Champion and Sven Epiney, SRF TV moderator, and also the Longines Ambassador of Elegance Ingeborga Dapkunaite.

The Official Watch of the competition, a stainless steel Conquest Classic Moonphase model, houses a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement. Its refined silvered dial displays the moon phases, echoing the excellence and elegance of equestrian sport stars.

As the Official Partner of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), Longines was the Official Timekeeper for the 45th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, held in Nanning, China. During this world class event, the brand awarded the Longines Prize for Elegance to Kohei Uchimura (Japan), winner of the all-around title for the fifth year in a row and Yao Jinnan (China), silver medalist in the team competition. In addition, Longines Ambassador of Elegance Aaron Kwok came to congratulate the Chinese men's team on delivering a brilliant performance and winning the World Championships title.

Set up in 1997, the Longines Prize for Elegance is aimed at honouring the most elegant and charismatic sportswomen and men. Apart from purely technical considerations, the criteria applied by the jury are based on grace, harmonious movement and emotion during the performances. The winners of the Longines Prize for Elegance received a trophy, a Longines watch, as well as cheque worth US$ 5,000.

Symbolising the contemporary elegance of the brand, the Conquest Classic collection highlighted this important international competition in Nanning. Housing a mechanical calibre, the Official Watch of the event displays a white mother-of-pearl dial and 12 diamond indices. This magnificent timepiece in steel and rose gold cap is the perfect illustration of the famous Longines slogan: "Elegance is an attitude".

Longines first became involved in gymnastics in 1912, when it launched an innovative electro-mechanical timing system. For over twenty years the brand has been the official partner and timekeeper for artistic and rhythmic gymnastics competitions organised by the International Gymnastics Federation.

This new product has been inspired by a metal Lepine pocket watch dating from 1927 and displayed at the Longines Museum in Saint-Imier. Longines has been passionate about equestrian sports for many years. Today, it is involved in endurance competitions, show jumping and flat racing. Echoing the brand's passion for equestrian sport, the back cover of this creation is decorated with a horse flying over a jump.

With a diameter of 49.50 mm, the Longines Equestrian Lepine is fitted with a manually wound L506 calibre and shows the hours and minutes, as well as having a small seconds at 6 o'clock. Its white dial features a railway track minute-ring, large painted black Arabic numerals and a second minute-ring with red numerals. Pink Breguet hands complete the dial while the sides and the bow are finely worked in imitation of the original model. The back cover is decorated with a stamped out horse motif and opens to reveal a solid case back.

The 29 mm round case is set with 100 Top Wesselton VVS diamonds. On the model with the white mother-of-pearl dial, the baton shape hands are black. The dial is also adorned with 12 diamond indices.
 

The Grande Classique 100 Diamonds features an ultra-slim case - only 4.60 mm. 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 timepiece is fitted with a quartz movement and is water-resistant to 30 meters. It is fitted either on black alligator straps with buckle or on steel bracelets with folding safety clasp and push-piece opening mechanism.

A successful end to Dubai's racing season was marked with the exciting and exhilarating Dubai World Cup. Titled the world's richest race, the Dubai World Cup is a thrilling exhibition of skill, precision and fashion as the world's top riders battle it out for eventual triumph while smart men and stylish women watch them in action. Swiss watchmaker Longines was the official timekeeper of the event for the third time.

One of the most closely followed races in the world, the Dubai World cup race is classified as a "International Group One flat race" for thoroughbreds over the age of four and covers a distance of 2000m. The exciting race was won by Animal Kingdom ridden by Joel Rosario while the Dubai Sheema Classic presented by Longines saw St Nicholas Abbey and Joseph O'Brien emerge victorious. The winning jockeys, trainers and owners of both races were bestowed with stunning gold timepieces from Longines' new Conquest Classic collection.

Introduced at the Dubai World Cup, the Conquest Classic collection is dedicated to those racegoers who share the excitement of the season's most prestigious race meetings, from Chantilly to Hong Kong, Dubai to Royal Ascot. Sleek and sporty and tailor-made for the discerning man and woman, the timepieces from the Conquest Classic collection were the ideal reward for the winners. This new collection will be featured at Baselworld fair 2013

In true style that is characteristic of equestrian events, the occasion also celebrated flair and fashion. Women adorned in striking dresses and creative hats paraded the venue in an attempt to win the award for the Most Elegant Lady. The triumph finally went to Alena Polyakova who won the coveted Conquest Classic timepiece in steel and gold with a white mother of pearl dial that echoed her grace.
On the strength of its long-lasting involvement in equestrian sports, Longines is delighted to be the Official Timekeeper of the most exciting horseracing events in the world. Longines' vast experience in timing equestrian events dates back to 1878, when it produced a chronograph engraved with a jockey and his mount. Since at least 1881, Longines has been committed to horseracing, and its chronographs have been highly sought-after by American race enthusiasts. Today, Longines' involvement in equestrian sports includes flat racing, show-jumping and endurance competitions. 

Longines has resolved to provide its backing to a competition that embodies to perfection the key values that Longines' slogan distils: "Elegance is an Attitude". In recent years, this event has won recognition as one of the world's finest indoor competitions. Truly representative of Longines's own values, this new partnership further confirms the company's active investment in equestrian sports.
The brand's passion for equestrian sports began in 1878 with Longines' design of a chronograph featuring an engraved jockey and his mount. By 1912 the company had partnered for the first time with an international show-jumping competition. Today, the brand is an active partner in flat racing and endurance competitions along with show jumping.
The 2014 edition of the CSI Basel will take place January 9-12.

The Longines Prize for Precision 2013 has been awarded to the two most precise compound athletes of the season, Erika Jones (USA) and Braden Gellenthien (USA).
After four qualifying stages, in Shanghai (China), Antalya (Turkey), Medellin (Colombia) and Wroclaw (Poland), the top athletes were in Paris for the Final of the 2013 World Cup. Erika Jones (USA) and Braden Gellenthien (USA) have scored the most "10s" during the qualifications and the tournament of the season, 379 for Jones and 447 for Gellenthien. They each received a trophy, a Longines watch and a cheque for 5'000 CHF.
Representing the precision of Longines, a steel chronograph from the collection Conquest Classic was the official watch of this event. With a diameter of 41 mm, this model houses the exclusive mechanical column-wheel caliber L688. Its black dial is set with one arabic numeral and 11 applied indices with Super-LumiNova®. It displays the hours and the minutes, a small second at 9, a 30-minute counter at 3, a 12-hour counter at 6 as well as the date at 4:30. Just as the entire collection Conquest Classic, this timepiece is water-resistant to 5 bar and its screw-down case back is fitted with a sapphire glass.

The partnership includes naming Longines as the Official Timekeeper and Watch of the Preakness Stakes (G1) as well as the title partner in the Longines Dixie Stakes (G2) and the presenting partner of the International Pavilion.
The partnership begins with this year's Preakness, which has played host to 11 Triple Crown winners and other Hall of Fame horses such as Man o' War, Native Dancer and Spectacular Bid. The 138th running will take place on Saturday, May 18 at Pimlico Race Course.
 
"By becoming the Official Timekeeper and Watch of the Preakness Stakes and the title partner of the Dixie Stakes, Longines is proud to be part of a great event," Longines president Walter von Känel said. "This new partnership reinforces our commitment to equestrian sports in the US and reflects our devotion to and fashion for these exciting sports, which match perfectly with our core values of elegance, tradition and performance. We are also looking forward to be the presenting partner of the International Pavilion with Japan as the host nation."
Longines will have a prominent presence throughout Pimlico on Preakness day serving as the official timepiece at the finish line and the presentation of elegant watches to the owner, trainer and jockey of the winning horse. To highlight its partnership, the watchmaker will also have a digital "Longines Preakness Stakes Countdown Clock" on the official Preakness Stakes website, www.preakness.com.  
"The Maryland Jockey Club is proud to welcome Longines into the family of Preakness partners," said Maryland Jockey Club president Tom Chuckas. "We look forward to establishing and fostering this relationship for years to come, showcasing the Longines brand center stage at the middle jewel of horse racing's Triple Crown. The Triple Crown is a tough, grueling series with the Preakness holding the key to the process with 13 of the last 16 winners named champion 3-year-old."

Longines will also serve as the presenting partner of the International Pavilion, the premier hospitality destination on Preakness day. Positioned at the finish line, the International Pavilion brings the world to the Preakness by selecting a different country each year to serve as the host nation with its respective embassy and Ambassador serving as Honorary Host. The embassy of Japan and Ambassador Kenichiro Sasae will serve as the 2013 host nation.

Under the new agreement - which marks the biggest sponsorship deal ever brokered by the FEI - Longines becomes the Official Top Partner, Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the FEI. Longines will take on a number of key FEI properties including the title sponsorship of the FEI World Cup™ Jumping before the start of the new season in October 2013. 

An official signing ceremony will take place in Lausanne (SUI) on 15 January 2013, when the contract will be signed jointly by FEI President HRH Princess Haya, and Mrs Nayla Hayek, Chair of the Swatch Group Board of Directors. Full details of the agreement will be unveiled as part of the signing ceremony in January 2013. 

"I am totally thrilled to welcome Longines as the FEI's first Top Partner. This is the beginning of a new era for our sport and the FEI," FEI President HRH Princess Haya said. "Longines has always had a huge presence in our community and our new partnership is a true celebration of our shared passion. This is an immense moment for the FEI. This long term partnership with Longines will completely revolutionise the way we are able to produce our sport, across all of our disciplines. I am enormously grateful to Mrs Nayla Hayek and her Board for recognising the incredible potential and possibilities of the ever- growing equestrian sport. " 

Nayla Hayek, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Swatch Group, commented: "We are delighted to have concluded this strategic and historic partnership with the FEI. It reinforces the traditional and long-lasting commitment of Longines in equestrian sports and makes the brand a major player in this field. We are looking forward to being involved in the great events organised by the FEI. This multi-faceted partnership also provides us with a great platform to strengthen the Longines brand presence worldwide. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to HRH Princess Haya and the Board of the FEI for giving Longines their trust."

Paris in the springtime is always a treat, but it's even more spectacular when the city welcomes the world's best tennis players to its first-class facility Roland Garros for the clay court Grand Slam tournament.

One of the main sponsors of this tournament is Swiss watch brand Longines. The 180-year-old company supports past, present and future champions of this elegant sport and simultaneously gives back to it.
Children of Tomorrow
Stefanie Graf was one of the game's absolute greats: among here achievements one finds 22 Grand Slam titles, six French Open titles, and the only Calendar Year Golden Slam. She took home this year's Longines Prize for Elegance, which was presented at a gala dinner held at the spectacular Grand Foyer du Theâtre National de Chaillot. The prize is awarded to a personality heading an association that helps disadvantaged citizens of our world. Graf's charity association, founded in 1998, is called Children of Tomorrow.
 

Children of Tomorrow works with children traumatized through war, violence and abuse and has offices in Hamburg. Kosovo and Eritrea. "Until today we have been able to reach and treat more than 8,000 children," Graf said during a press conference held at the Roland Garros Tenniseum.
Rising Stars
Additionally, Longines displays its fuzzy yellow heart for up-and-coming tennis players. The Longines Future Tennis Aces sees the Swiss watch company inviting 16 under-twelve tennis players who have worked their ways through grueling qualification tournaments to play the final draw on the grounds of Roland Garros during the second week of the French Grand Slam. This year, girls from Australia, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Britain and the United States competed there. The final, held on June 9 on Court 7, pitted Japan's Haruna Arakawa against Australia's Destanee Aiava - with the latter coming out on top.

Not only did the finalists get to play additional exhibition matches with Longines ambassador Graf, world-ranked number 15 Sabine Lisicki and doubles specialist Mansour Bahrami, but both will receive an annual sum of $2,000 from Longines from now until their sixteenth birthdays to help pay for tennis equipment and costs.
This day of dreams for the young tennis hopefuls ended with a press conference held in Roland Garros's tennis museum, during which Aiava received a Saint-Imier collection watch.
 

Graf, who received the Longines Prize for Elegance during the evening gala, wore an elegant 26 mm stainless steel and rose gold two-tone Saint-Imier Collection model set with 60 diamonds and a mother-of-pearl dial in addition to her rather minimalist jewelry. Both she and her husband Andre Agassi are Longines ambassadors of elegance. "The importance of quality, performance and attention to detail are values I admire in Longines," Graf said. "Longines is also a great partner in supporting the foundations of Andre and I, aiding in broadening our missions and messages."
 

The Andre Agassi Foundation for Education today announced that Michael Buble, Jimmy Kimmel, Martina McBride, Smokey Robinson and Train will headline its 16th Grand Slam for Children benefit concert. Hosted by tennis legend and philanthropist Andre Agassi and presented by Longines, the Swiss watch-making company, the 2011 Grand Slam for Children will take place Saturday, October 29th at Wynn Las Vegas. The event supports the Foundation's efforts to transform education and benefits the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, a tuition free K-12 public charter school in Las Vegas which provides children with a first-class education.
The Foundation is proud to announce Longines as the new presenting sponsor for the 16th Grand Slam for Children event. Longines, the famous maker of elegant time pieces, has been a longterm partner of the Foundation.

"We are delighted to become the presenting sponsor of the Grand Slam for Children. Thus, Longines strengthens the partnership that has been built with the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education," said Longines' President Walter von Känel. "Helping disadvantaged children is in line with Longines' tradition and motto 'Elegance is an attitude.'"
"It's amazing what can be accomplished when people come together to change lives and make the world a better place for children. The 16th Grand Slam will bring together some of the world's greatest entertainers which inspires the generosity of people from Las Vegas and around the globe," Agassi said. "This year's event will create a lasting memory and will enable us to give the tools of hope to the next generation. I want to personally thank Wynn Las Vegas for its hospitality and Longines for being our presenting sponsor. Both are truly generous and great partners to the Foundation."
The Grand Slam brings together international stars and noted artists- from music to comedy - to build awareness and raise money for the Foundation's biggest fundraiser. Dedicated to transforming and elevating education, the Foundation opened Agassi Prep in 2001. In 2009, the public charter school graduated its first senior class with 100 percent of graduates accepted into college, as were the graduates in the classes of 2010 and 2011. The Foundation's work is directly impacting students in Las Vegas, Agassi's hometown community, but it has broader implications for education nationwide.
Since 1995, the Grand Slam has raised nearly $92 million, including $8.5 million from the 15th
event, to support a movement that's improving education.
Additional top-name talent, who will be announced prior to the Oct. 29 event, will join Michael
Buble, Jimmy Kimmel, Martina McBride, Smokey Robinson and Train.
The evening will include a cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, live auction and benefit concert.
Sponsorships for the Grand Slam are still available at the following levels: Silver $10,000, Gold
$17,500, Platinum $40,000, and Diamond $85,000.

A silvery moon on a spring night; a star that glistens reaches its peak and then disappears. A symbol of passing time, living time and the moon that entrances us with its rounded, delicate lines the new Longines PrimaLuna is a tribute to this silvery star. Its soft silhouette is enhanced by the exquisite purity of the dial and the whole is illuminated by a play of sparkling diamonds. Graceful, magical, this is a model that will seduce women who appreciate contemporary, sophisticated elegance.
The Moon has been used to measure time by every civilisation; this night star is feminine, cyclical and eternal. A star that produces dreams! In many cultures the New Moon is a symbol of renewal when it marks the beginning of a new year or the arrival of spring. To pay tribute to this mystical star, the famous Saint-Imier watchmaker is launching an exquisitely fine interpretation of the magic of the Moon this year: the Longines PrimaLuna.

The subtle mystery of spring, the Longines PrimaLuna emerges from a wakening world. The Moon is no longer pale but iridescent, opaline, masterful. Sheherazade moves elegantly into position under the stars...
The delicate gleam of stainless steel, the rich hue of rose or yellow gold, or the blend of rose gold and steel. A sleek bracelet of steel, gold or steel and rose gold or a leather strap. A selection of heavenly dials: white, silvered or mother-of-pearl decorated with hour symbols, Arabic or Roman numerals or diamonds. And finally, three hands, blued, gilded or rose, that marks the passing of time. As multifaceted as the modern woman, the Longines PrimaLuna range offers a selection of models in four sizes.
This ladies' watch is at the same time a piece of jewellery. The pleasing curves of the case are enhanced by a play of diamonds. Precious pieces of pure carbon that glitter with fascination... so feminine! Similarly, the white mother-of-pearl dials of the most sophisticated models are also decorated with sparkling teardrops that will seduce any woman who appreciates diamonds.
