Longines presented last week its Longines Prize for Elegance to Italy’s rhythmic gymnast Alexandra Agiurgiuculese.

As the Official Partner and Timekeeper of the 35th Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships 2017 in Pesaro, Longines presented the Longines Prize for Elegance to Alexandra Agiurgiuculese, for which all participants in the individual all-around finals held last Friday were nominated. The jury’s individual assessments were combined to form a collective judgment reflecting a perceptive and balanced evaluation of the gymnasts’ performances. Alexandra Agiurgiuculese impressed the whole jury in displaying perfect coordination and intangible grace, beauty and harmony known as “elegance”, a value which Longines cherishes.
 
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 35th Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships was a lady model of the Longines DolceVita Collection, cased in steel, decorated with diamonds and featuring a silver-coloured “flinqué” dial adorned with painted Roman numerals.
