With its longstanding and passionate involvement in equestrian sports, the Swiss watch brand presents The Longines Equestrian Pocket Watch Jockey 1878, an 18-carat pink gold pocket watch replica of a model equipped with the first chronograph created by Longines. Produced in a very limited series of 20 numbered pieces, this timepiece features an engraving on the back depicting a jockey and his mount. <\/p>\n
In 1878, the Swiss watch brand Longines developed its first chronograph movement using new mechanical processes. This timepiece made it possible to measure performance to the nearest second, and by the end of the 19th century, it had earned Longines a place of choice on American racetracks. The purpose of the watch’s production was crystallized in one of the first series of models to feature a jockey accompanied by his mount. This chronograph is the first milestone in a long history that has seen the Swiss watch brand associated with renowned show jumping institutions, races and competitions around the world. Today, Longines is reissuing this exceptional timepiece.
