Longines, long-time supporter of equestrian
sporting culture, was the new official partner and timekeeper of the 79th CSIO
Piazza di Siena, which took place from May 26 to 29. The event was a quietly
glamorous one, with famous personalities such as the beautiful Nina Senicar, horsewoman
and equestrian sports lover, gracing Longines’ stand in the days spanning the
show.

At the horserace in Rome,
Longines also presented its new Column-Wheel Chronograph, a timepiece inspired
by the precision and strength of equestrian sports. The stainless steel case
houses an exclusive self-winding caliber with a blue column-wheel that can be
admired through the transparent back. This model also boasts a silvered dial
with 13 indexes and offers chronograph functions, central seconds sweep, and 30-minutes
and 12-hour counters. A chocolate brown alligator strap adds a luxurious,
timeless accent to this elegant watch.

Since the early days of its involvement in this
field, the Swiss watchmaker have taken part in over one hundred national and
international equestrian events, and has been responsible for timing many
competitions such as world championships, European championships and various
other events organised by the CSIO and the Arab Equestrian League.
