Used for the very first time last year in Sydney, Australia, at the Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes, the Longines Positioning System sets a new standard for accurate and reliable timekeeping and tracking results that provides huge benefit to both the horseracing industry and enthusiasts. This technology generates instant data on the exact position of horses during a race, race rankings, the distance between horses and speed. It boasts accuracy down to 5 centimetres and features up to 1,000 measurements per second.
Earlier this month, Longines and Hoppegarten announced their new long-term partnership, which saw the Swiss watch brand become the Official Timekeeper of the racecourse located in the German capital. In this context, Longines also presented the Official Watch of the event, a model of The Longines Master Collection. This chronograph features a refined silvered stamped barleycorn dial with a moonphase display. The transparent case back of its stainless steel case reveals the self-winding mechanical movement.
Alongside the races, the Swiss watch brand organized the Longines Prize for Elegance and honored Kellie Lovett as the most elegant lady present at the racetrack. She received a watch of the Longines DolceVita collection.
