Pénélope Leprevost (FRA) earned the second place with Vagabond de la Pomme while Bertram Allen (IRL) riding Molly Malone V slotted into third place. The finalists were awarded an elegant Longines watch. The culminating day of the competition was enhanced by the presence of the icon of women’s tennis, Stefanie Graf, Longines Ambassador of Elegance.
For this 2015 edition of the Longines FEI World CupTM Jumping Final, the Official Watch 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, which happen to be the required skills for show jumping. Its refined silvered dial displays the moon phases, echoing the excellence and elegance of the equestrian sport stars.
Longines’ long term partnership with the FEI consolidates its commitment to show jumping. As part of this partnership, Longines is lending its name to the FEI world ranking for riders participating in the show jumping trials: the Longines Rankings. The brand is the Official Partner of three series of the Longines FEI World CupTM Jumping, along with the Longines FEI World CupTM Jumping Final: the Western European League, the Chinese League and the North American League.
