To mark the Chinese year of the horse, the Swiss watch brand is presenting its Longines Equestrian Lépine, a pocket watch in rose gold.

This new product has been inspired by a metal Lépine pocket watch dating from 1927 and displayed at the Longines Museum in Saint-Imier. Longines has been passionate about equestrian sports for many years. Today, it is involved in endurance competitions, show jumping and flat racing. Echoing the brand's passion for equestrian sport, the back cover of this creation is decorated with a horse flying over a jump.

With a diameter of 49.50 mm, the Longines Equestrian Lépine is fitted with a manually wound L506 calibre and shows the hours and minutes, as well as having a small seconds at 6 o'clock. Its white dial features a railway track minute-ring, large painted black Arabic numerals and a second minute-ring with red numerals. Pink Breguet hands complete the dial while the sides and the bow are finely worked in imitation of the original model. The back cover is decorated with a stamped out horse motif and opens to reveal a solid case back.
