The relationship between Longines and equestrian sports can be traced back to 1878. At that time, the brand produced a chronograph that was recorded in history. The back of this stopwatch was engraved with a rider and his mount. In 1912, Longines cooperated with the International Equestrian Paralympics for the first time. Today, Longines participates more widely in various equestrian competitions, including obstacle course, flat horse race and endurance race.
