Longines Shines at the 151st Kentucky Derby & Oaks
Longines captures key victories at the 151st Kentucky Derby and Oaks with precision timing and elegance from its Conquest collection.
Longines marked another milestone as the Official Partner, Timekeeper and Watch of the 151st Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, held in Louisville, Kentucky, from 2 to 3 May.
The Swiss watchmaker recorded the unforgettable triumph of Sovereignty, ridden by Junior Alvarado, in Saturday’s Derby – often called the most thrilling two minutes in sport.
Longines CEO Matthias Breschan honoured the winning owner, trainer and jockey with elegant timepieces.
On Friday, Longines also timed Good Cheer’s exhilarating finish in the Kentucky Oaks and Simply in Front’s powerful surge to victory in the Churchill Distaff Turf Mile.
The Official Watch of the event was a striking chronograph from the Conquest collection.
Combining sport and elegance, it features a self-winding mechanical movement, a snailed champagne sunray dial, and a stainless steel case water-resistant to 100 metres.
Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, Longines is renowned for its heritage, precision and timeless design.
