Longines has once again looked to its rich history to expand the military wing of its Heritage collection. The Longines Heritage Military COSD is based on a piece of equipment used by the British Special Forces during the 1940s. Each item of this equipment was marked with the initials COSD and intended for the sole use of the Combined Operations Command created by the British War Office during the Second World War. These timepieces were much appreciated by the paratroopers.

The 40 mm steel case of the Longines Heritage Military COSD houses an L619.2 self-winding calibre. Maintaining its military look, it is mounted on a khaki Nato strap. Also created for the British army, these light-weight but robust straps were designed to meet the rigorous requirements of military equipment. The Longines Heritage Military COSD also exists in a version mounted on a black leather strap.

The opaline dial boasts a chapter-ring comprising large black Arabic numerals as well as a red 24-hour scale enhanced with blued hands. A railway-track minute ring serves to further emphasize the military style of the watch. A version with a matt black dial and rhodium-plated hands is also available. The upper part of the dial bears a broad arrow, a symbol used in Britain at the time to indicate government property. It was thus to be found on various pieces of military equipment including the watches used by the British forces. The numerals and the hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® to help the user read the time under all conditions.

The jury of the Longines Prize for Elegance brought together Bruno Grandi, FIG President, Magdalena Brzeska, 26-time German Champion in rhythmic gymnastics, Rainer Eckert, Brand Manager Longines Germany, and Walter von Känel, President of Longines. The basis for evaluating, judging and awarding the Prize included emotional appeal extending beyond technical considerations to beauty and femininity, grace and harmony of movement, and above all, elegance.

Set up in 1997, the Longines Prize for Elegance takes the form of a trophy representing a gymnast in movement created especially for Longines by the Swiss artist Jean-Pierre Gerber. In addition, the winner received an elegant Longines timepiece and a cheque. Besides, the Official Watch of the 34^th Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships was a lady model of the Longines DolceVita collection, cased in steel, decorated with diamonds and featuring a silver-coloured "flinque" dial adorned with painted Roman numerals. This timepiece represents contemporary elegance of the Longines watchmaking brand worldwide. It perfectly illustrated the elegance of this world class competition.

Yana Kudryavtseva clinched the World Championships all-around title for the third year in a row. She also captured three gold medals in individual ribbon, ball and clubs, as well as the team title with her Russian compatriots Margarita Mamun and Aleksandra Soldatova. Famous for her ball-spinning tricks as well as her spectacular ribbon routines, she demonstrated once again that she is one of the best rhythmic gymnasts of her generation.

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 organized by the International Gymnastics Federation. At these events, Longines provides the necessary infrastructure and personnel for calculating times, presenting scores, processing data (start lists, results, and medals) and displaying it on the results screens, on the commentators' information system as well as transmitting it to the television companies that are covering the competitions.

Longines was for the first time the Official Partner, Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the Japan Cup, attended by Longines Ambassador of Elegance Chi Ling Lin. Inaugurated in 1981, the Japan Cup in association with Longines is a 2400 meter international Group 1 turf race for horses aged three-years-old and up.

To honour Christophe Soumillon's great performance, the winning owner, breeder, trainer, jockey and stable staff members were presented with elegant Longines watches by Mr. Walter von Känel, President of Longines, and Chi Ling Lin, Longines Ambassador of Elegance.

To celebrate both the sporting aspects of this exceptional day and the delicate Japanese-style elegance, Longines organized a Longines Elegance Prize that paid tribute to the kimono. Mrs. Miki Uehara was thus declared most elegant lady and received a magnificent Longines watch from the hands of Mr. Juan-Carlos Capelli, Vice President of Longines and Head of International Marketing.

Last Friday saw the launch of the 2014/2015 Alpine skiing season, which for Longines will be characterised by youth. The brand offers its support to the best up-and-coming Alpine skiers through the Longines Future Ski Champions race, which will take place
in Val d'Isere in December. This year the focus will be on the female skiers for this unique competition. Each will be hoping to be crowned champion for 2014 and to take home a Longines watch as well as a trophy.

With the same purpose in mind, Longines will also be organising, for the third year running, the Longines Rising Ski Stars prize, awarded to the best female skier under the age of 21 and the best male skier under the age of 23 who compete for the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup. At the end of the 2014/2015 season, the two winners will each receive a Longines watch, a trophy and a cheque for CHF 20,000.

The launch of the new Alpine skiing season was also an opportunity for Longines to unveil the name of its new Ambassador of Elegance, American alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin, two-time winner of the « Longines Rising Ski Stars » prize. The talented athlete was also World Champion in 2013 and won two crystal globes in slalom.

Finally, the Swiss watch brand announced the renewal of its long-term partnership with the FIS, for which it has been the Partner and Official Timekeeper since 2006.

The Official Watch of the season will be a one hundredth of a second chronograph, the Conquest 1/100th Alpine Skiing.

The founding of the Swiss Confederation on 1 August 1291 is celebrated each year with a typically Swiss mixture of solemnity and festivities. One element that was lacking this year, however, was the summer sun.

Switzerland has had a shockingly bad summer, with some localities even experiencing horrendous floods. It's the kind of weather that hampers the use of a watch like the Longines Hour Angle, which we wrist-tested over the past few weeks, because you need to see the sun at least briefly in order to establish the correct solar time.

In fact, the best timepieces for the recent conditions were probably the high-performance diver's models that we featured in our second instalment of diver's watches last week.

In our second article on the categories in this year's Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix we looked at the sports watches, which cover all bases - from football to Formula 1 via… military aviation. With ten more categories to analyse, I'm sure this won't be the last of the surprises.

Some of our colleagues will be returning from sunnier climes this week and we hope that they will be bringing some of the nice weather back with them. We will at least be injecting a little sunshine into our Summer Watches series this week as we take a look at watches with summer landscapes.

On Wednesday 23 July 2014, Longines Ambassador of Elegance Aishwarya Rai attended, together with Mr. Walter von Känel, President of Longines, the opening ceremony of Glasgow 2014, the XXe Commonwealth Games.

Longines is the Official Timekeeper and Watch of the Games, that are held in Glasgow from 23 July to 3 August 2014. In addition, the Swiss watch brand is the Presenting Partner of the Gymnastics competitions.

The Official Watch of Glasgow 2014 is a chronograph in steel from the Conquest Classic collection, housing an exclusive mechanical column-wheel calibre. With a diameter of 41 mm, 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 Conquest Classic collection, this timepiece is water-resistant to 5 bar and its screw-down case back is fitted with a sapphire glass.

52 years after its first association with the Games in Perth, Australia, Longines renews its support to this multi-sport event, taking place from 23 July to 3 August in Glasgow. Involving 71 teams of athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations and Territories, this will be the largest competition ever held in Scotland.

Longines will provide the On Venue Results (OVR) service that includes the handling, the processing and the broadcasting of the official times and scores of the different sport events.

Timekeeping itself is only a modest part in the global picture and Longines will rely on its long-lasting experience in complete data handling for Glasgow 2014. Any score, distance, name, team, ranking and time requires technology to instantly process and distribute it as TV graphics for television networks. Scoreboards and displays will be spread around the different sporting venues, and the Commentator's Information System (CIS) will make available to rights holding broadcasters comprehensive information about the competitions, statistics and results.

The Official Watch of Glasgow 2014 will be a chronograph in steel from the Conquest Classic collection, housing an exclusive mechanical column-wheel calibre. With a diameter of 41 mm, 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 Conquest Classic collection, this timepiece is water-resistant to 5 bar and its screw-down case back is fitted with a sapphire glass.

The 44 mm circular steel case of the Longines Avigation - a contraction of "aviation" and "navigation" - referring to a navigation system invented during the 1920s - has the same diameter as the original one. It houses an L704 self-winding, mechanical calibre which shows the hours, minutes, seconds and date, and has a second time-scale. As in the 1949 model, the movement is encased in a soft iron plate and dome which protect it from the effects of magnetic fields.

The black dial features large white numerals as well as a 24-hour scale in red. The stick hands on the main dial are rhodium-plated and the lozenge-shaped hand on the second time-scale is red. All the hands are coated with Super-LumiNova®. The upper segment of the dial bears a distinctive sign, namely a broad arrow, used in the United Kingdom to denote government property, including military equipment and therefore the watches used by the British army.

The Longines Avigation is fitted on a black alligator strap with a buckle.

As the official timekeeper for the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, Longines awarded today in Lenzerheide the Longines Rising Ski Stars prize. Created in 2012, this prize is awarded to the best young athlete, lady (under 21) and man (under 23), taking part in the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup this season. This year the winners are Mikaela Shiffrin and Alexis Pinturault, who both had a wonderful season. The two prodigies had already received this award last year, proving once again that they are the most promising young athletes of the World Cup.

The American skier, who also won the slalom globe, and the French skier have received a trophy, a check for 20'000 CHF and a Longines Conquest Classic watch. This collection fully represents the precision, the technique and the elegance of alpine skiing.

The prize Longines Rising Ski Stars forms part of several activities undertaken by Longines to support youth through sport and to encourage the discovery of young talent. With its slogan "Elegance is an attitude", Longines particularly supports young people in several sports, organising projects for promising young hopefuls at its partnership events. For several years, the Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament has been held during the French Open Championship. In flat racing, the Prix Longines Future Racing Stars, open to young jockeys, is run in conjunction with the Prix de Diane Longines at Chantilly. And in 2013 Longines extended this concept to Alpine skiing with the Longines Future Ski Champions. Moreover, the brand also supports rising athletes with the Longines Rising Star Award in equestrian sports, the Longines Rising Tennis Stars and of course the Longines Rising Ski Stars.

As part of this agreement, the Swiss watch brand will this year present the Longines Gran Premio Latinoamericano. This flat racing event is the perfect occasion at which to discover Conquest Classic, a collection dedicated to the world of horse racing. The event's Official Watch will be a steel chronograph from this line. With its 41 mm diameter, this timepiece has a black dial and is equipped with an exclusive column-wheel self-winding movement. As is the case with all models in the Conquest Classic collection, the watch's movement can be admired through its sapphire crystal case back.

Longines supports the activities of OSAF (Organización Latinoamericana de Fomento del Sangre Pura de Carrera), an institution involved in the promotion and development of horse races and thoroughbred horses throughout Latin America. OSAF is present in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Don Marcel Zarour, President of the OSAF said: "In the name of OSAF, I am very proud to count with the support of Longines as OSAF's first Official Partner, and their great contribution for the promotion of horseracing in Latin America. The materialization of this agreement with the prestigious firm Longines means another important achievement for OSAF, by promoting the Longines Gran Premio Latinoamericano which features our best Latin American thoroughbreds, and supports our spirit of tradition, excellence and constant improvement."

Mr. Juan-Carlos Capelli, Vice President of Longines and Head of International Marketing, said: "Longines is proud to be the Official Partner and the Official Watch of the OSAF. Our brand and this prestigious institution share common values such as tradition, performance and elegance. We'll work together for the good of equestrian sports in a part of the world known for its horse culture. In addition, we are happy to announce that Longines will be the Title Partner and the Official Timekeeper of the Longines Gran Premio Latinoamericano."

The Longines Gran Premio Latinoamericano is the most important international Group 1 horse race in Latin America. This annual event is held in a different country in the region every year. On 15 March 2014, the Monterrico racecourse in Lima will host this prestigious event.

During 4 days, the spectators attended performances of the world's best riders and horses topped by a first highlight: The Longines Cup of the City of Barcelona, which was won by Patrice Delaveau (FRA) on Carinjo HDC. 
The event also included the final stage of the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ during which the French team defeated the teams from Brazil and Ireland, and won the inaugural Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping Final. Longines was the Official Timekeeper of this competition. 18 nations were represented at the final leg of the series in Barcelona: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and USA. There were three competitions during the Furusiyya Final - the first during which all teams competed over one round, the second for the teams that had not finished within the top eight on the previous day and the third in which the leading eight nations battled it out for the brand new Furusiyya trophy.
The new Conquest Classic line - which is dedicated to Longines' involvement in equestrian sports - was the Official Watch of this year's show jumping event in Barcelona.  

Title Partner and Official Timekeeper of the Longines Global Champions Tour, Longines partnered the Monaco leg of the competition and presented two of its major events: the Longines Pro-Am Cup on Friday, won by Mark McAuley riding Loriot and by Maddalena Valenzano Menada on Quidana, and the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of the Prince of Monaco on Saturday, the latter won by Richard Spooner on Cristallo followed by the riders William Funnell and Edwina Tops-Alexander.
 

The winners were each presented with a Longines wristwatch as they improved their rankings in the Longines Global Champions Tour Ranking.
This year, the official watch of the Monaco show jumping competition is a model from the new Conquest Classic line, dedicated to Longines's support of equestrian sport disciplines. This new collection of models is fitted with self-winding calibres.
 

Solemia and jockey Olivier Peslier have been the heroes of the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe watched by over 50,000 people at the Longchamp racecourse. At the finish line of a breathtaking race, Olivier Peslier and his 4 year old filly have beaten Christophe Soumillon and Orfevre. Another highlight of the day, the Prix de l'Opera Longines has been won by Ridasiyna and Christophe-Patrice Lemaire. This year the famous Swiss watchmaker was involved in the prestigious Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe as official timekeeper for the second time as part of the partnership between the brand and the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club and France Galop.

Longines' passion for horses began with the manufacture of a pocket chronograph depicting a jockey and his mount, engraved by hand on the back of the case. Since at least 1881, Longines has been committed to horseracing and its chronographs have been highly sought after by racegoers. Today the brand is official partner and timekeeper to numerous prestigious events around the world, embracing horseracing, show jumping and endurance riding. Along with the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe it is affiliated to other iconic races such as the Prix de Diane Longines, the Dubai World Cup, Royal Ascot, the H.H. The Emir's Trophy presented by Longines, the Longines Hong Kong International races, the Longines Singapore Gold Cup, the Melbourne Cup Carnival, the Longines Handicap de las Americas, the Grand Prix Longines Lydia Tesio, the Longines Grosser Preis von Baden and the Kentucky Derby.

As part of its partnership with France Galop, the famous Swiss watchmaker is present at Chantilly, Deauville and Longchamp racecourses as the official timekeeper and the title partner of the Prix de Diane Longines. The brand is also the official partner and timekeeper for all the events organised by the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club.

In the frame of the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Longines introduced a chronograph from The Longines Saint-Imier Collection, a line that has been inspired by the origins of Longines' watchmaking tradition. The sleek lines and the distinctive lugs provide these new models with a subtle balance between classical and contemporary design. With a diameter of 41 mm, this chronograph is fitted with a column-wheel movement L688, developed and produced exclusively for Longines. Its case in steel displays a black dial and is fitted with a steel bracelet.

To mark the occasion, 180 celebrity guests, local politicians, representatives of the Swatch Group and journalists listened to a welcome address. Recalling Longines' rich history and its continued development across the ages, the various speakers - including Nick Hayek, President of the Executive Group Management Board of The Swatch Group, and Walter von Känel, Director of Longines - all emphasised the importance of the close ties that link the company to the town of Saint-Imier. Then Pierre-Yves Donze presented his latest work, Longines - From a Family Business to a Global Brand, which recounts the company's history. The other highlight of the day was the official reopening of the Longines Museum. The guests had the opportunity of discovering the various refurbished rooms where all Longines' historical treasures are on display.

In 1832, Auguste Agassiz joined the world of watchmaking when he became an associate of a watch trading office installed in Saint-Imier - this was the start of the history of Longines. Today the company is celebrating its 180th anniversary in Saint-Imier itself, in the presence of 180 celebrity guests. In his welcome speech, the Director of Longines, Walter von Känel, recalled with some emotion the brand's rich history. With regard to the dev

Subsequently, Pierre-Yves Donze presented his latest book, commissioned to mark the occasion and entitled Longines - From a Family Business to a Global Brand, which recounts the history of Longines, from its origins as a watch trading office to its present-day status as indeed a worldwide brandname. Describing economic and structural issues, as well as technical developments and innovations, this work presents the evolution of Longines through various key people and the strategic and political decisions they took which have shaped the company into what it is today.

The welcome address was followed by the reopening of the Longines Museum. An initial room, dedicated to the history of the brand known by its winged hourglass logo, was opened in 1992 by the late Nicolas G. Hayek, founder and president of the SMH Group (today The Swatch Group). The entire museum has been refurbished this year, to mark the company's 180th anniversary, and offers visitors a coherent, structured presentation of all the different aspects of the history of Longines. At the opening ceremony a ribbon was cut by Elisabeth Baume-Schneider, President of the canton Jura Government, Philippe Perrenoud, member of the Swiss Council of States for canton Bern, Philippe Gnaegi, President of the State Council, along with the Mayor of Saint-Imier, Stephane Boillat and Walter von Känel, Director of Longines. The guests then had an opportunity to discover, or re-discover, the brand's treasures and heritage.

 
WORLDTEMPUS - 14 November 2011

An independent transforming into a brand without losing its soul: this seems like an impossible task, but with Peter Speake-Marin, really, anything is possible.
This talented watchmaker named a brand after himself in 2000, but continued doing contract work for other watchmakers and companies up to 2008. Only in that year when the world seemed to go financially awry did Speake-Marin decide to fully focus on his own watches and invest all of his energy in this venture.
This also meant a change in strategy. While Speake-Marin previously focused on unique pieces that were often collaborative in nature - both with other artisans such as engraver Kees Engelbarts and the future owners of his bespoke pieces - since 2008 the London-born watchmaker working in Switzerland has tried to put something more like model lines on the market. This was achieved to great critical acclaim in the past two years with the Thalassa model and Speake-Marin's own Caliber SM2.

Spirit Pioneer
Making a huge splash at SalonQP, which closed on Saturday, was Speake-Marin's latest work of art: a 38 mm stainless steel beauty housed in his typical Piccadilly case. The case isn't the only element taken from previous Speake-Marin watches: the hands are also the same shape as those on the experienced watchmaker's original Foundation Watch, which is currently undergoing refurbishment. Turning the watch over, one finds Speake-Marin's typical rotor design winding Caliber FW2012.
The immediate question that enters a connoisseur of this brand's mind upon seeing this watch is certainly its departure in style: an aviation-style timepiece is definitely new within Speake-Marin's collection.
"Spirit is inspired by a timepiece I bought fifteen years ago when I was restoring antique pieces in Piccadilly," 43-year-old Speake-Marin explained at the event. "It was an authentic military watch from the first half of the twentieth century that I restored in my own time and wore regularly as my personal timekeeper. I always wanted to create my own piece based on this personal favorite and have toyed around with ideas to realize this ambition ever since I founded Speake-Marin."

That timepiece, a vintage Longines, seems to have meant much to him. However, this model symbolizes even more to Speake-Marin. First off, it is an "affordable" Speake-Marin released in part as a gesture to his many fans wishing to own one of his timepieces (retail price is 9,800 Swiss francs). This was made possible by the use of the rest of his stock of Caliber FW2012, a truly reliable ETA-based movement that he also used in the original Piccadilly line. The limitation of 68 pieces is a natural one dictated by the number of movements he had left.
Perhaps most striking, however, is the message engraved into the case back: "Fight, Love & Persevere." This is a personal message from the watchmaker, but also sort of a personal motto.

"The global economic downturn and natural disasters of the last few years have meant that people all over the world - myself included - have had to face up to increasing challenges that can test the limits of endurance," he explains. "But what has struck me in my experiences is the drive people possess to fight on, to adapt and to forge forward, with their capacity for love never diminishing. The themes of determination, tenacity and love were at the forefront of my mind when I created this timepiece and so I have paid tribute to them by christening it 'Spirit' and by engraving the motto on the case back."
Powerful and striking on so many levels, Speake-Marin's Spirit hit a real chord among the visitors to SalonQP, where the independent hall was literally buzzing. It would seem that the collection sold out.

WORLDTEMPUS - 5 September 2011

Though Andrasch Starke raced on a total of nine different horses in nine of the ten races that took place yesterday as the exciting close to a wonderful week in Iffezheim / Baden-Baden, I kept betting on him in the wrong races. Starke, you see, won the race that counted, though not the race that I thought he would win after listening to experts in horse racing expound upon the recent past of the jockeys, horses, and trainers taking part in yesterday's Grosser Preis von Baden. This sixth and final day of racing on the Iffezheim track closed with a bang.

It was indeed Andrasch took the podium, triumphant on Danedream, in the race in which Longines offered a total of 250,000 euros and the prize of honor to the winners.
The Iffezheim week is a highpoint of the social calendar in the German state of Baden in addition to being the most important event on Germany's horse racing calendar. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that there is a grand prix ball to celebrate the sporting occasion. Longines, the event's timing partner, also took guests to the Saturday evening gala event emceed by German actor Sky du Mont ("Der Schuh des Manitou") and during which Gloria Gaynor ("I Will Survive") sang her hits.

If Longines had only been able to predict exactly which race Starke was going to win, I would have been able to partake more fully in the whole "grand prix" experience, though. Shouldn't there be a watch for that? Unfortunately, the Dolce Vita - the official watch of the Grosser Preis von Baden-Baden - wasn't quite outfitted with this function.

The Jumping International Officiel de France in La Baule (France), where Longines was the official partner and timekeeper for the sixth year in a row, lived up to the expectations last weekend.

The prestigious Grand Prix Longines de la Ville de La Baule was awarded to Mclain Ward (USA) riding Sapphire followed by Mario Deslauriers (USA, 2nd place) riding Urico and Jesus Garmendia Echevarria (Spain, 3rd place) riding Lord du Mont Milon.

La Baule also marked the first stage of the Longines Press Award for Elegance. This prize pays tribute to the most elegant and successful male and female riders of the season. The procedure is as follows: the 20 riders (10 men and 10 women) who have accumulated the most performance points during the 6 Nations Cup events where Longines is a Partner are short-listed. In Dublin, the last stage of the Nations Cup, a jury of International journalists will elect the most elegant male and female riders from the short-list.
After this first competition, Beezie Madden (female horseriders category) and Mclain Ward (male horseriders category) are leading the intermediate ranking. The next step will be at the CSIO Piazza di Siena in Rome from 27th to 30th May 2010.

The CHIO Rotterdam, where Longines was the official partner and timekeeper, lived up to the expectations last weekend. We would especially like to congratulate the Swiss riders on taking first and second place in the Longines Grand Prix on Sunday.

At the fourth stage of the Longines Press Award for Elegance, the following horseriders were the most performing female and male riders in Rotterdam:
Female horserider: Christina Liebherr
Male horserider: Pius Schwizer and Jur Vrieling tied
The following two riders are leading the intermediate global ranking of the Longines Press Award for Elegance, which will be awarded at the CSIO Dublin on 9th August, 2009.
Female horserider: Laura Kraut
Male horserider:Pius Schwizer

Each winner will receive a trophy, a set of two Longines watches and a cheque for CHF 20,000.
