The world’s top horse-and-rider combinations gathered this weekend at the ParisLongchamp racecourse to vie for victory in elite-level competitions of a world-renowned horseracing event. Longines continued to be at the forefront of this revered sport and timed the superb victory of Alpinista ridden by Morris Luke in the prestigious Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. To strengthen its ties with the boldest talents in the discipline, the brand lent its name as the Official Partner and Official Timekeeper to two races of that day - the Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp Longines and the Longines Prix de l’Opéra claimed by The Platinum Queen and Place du Carrousel respectively. On this special occasion, Longines was proud to highlight the new Longines DolceVita X YVY line. Swiss designer Yvonne Reichmuth has given the famous rectangular timepieces a new identity, with sophisticated leather straps. Referencing the equestrian world that Longines holds dear, their design is evocative to bridles and harness.
