During the competition, Longines presented an elegant Longines watch to Great Britain’s Rebecca Downie and Russia’s David Belyavskiy (picture above), the winners of the Longines Prize for Elegance. Both athletes standed out by the elegance of their performance at the Senior Apparatus Finals.
Besides, the Swiss watch brand congratulates its Longines Ambassador of Elegance Giulia Steingruber who demonstrated once again great results after having gathered two gold medals in vault and floor.
These 2016 European championships were the perfect occasion to discover the Official Watch, which belongs to the Longines DolceVita collection, representing contemporary elegance of the Longines watchmaking brand worldwide. The timepiece is a lady model, cased in steel, decorated with diamonds and featuring a silver-coloured “flinqué” dial adorned with painted Roman numerals.
Longines first became involved in gymnastics in 1912, when it launched an innovative electro-mechanical timing system. For over twenty years the brand has been the official partner and timekeeper for artistic and rhythmic gymnastics competitions organised by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), of which the brand is also the Official Partner.
