"I am extremely excited to witness this trophy up close and personal. Longines has a close relationship with Roland Garros and the Conquest 1/100th Roland Garros model is a fitting tribute to this. It is a beautiful timepiece which in my mind is a great representation of sporting elegance," said Yuki.
Official partner and timekeeper of the French Open at Roland-Garros since 2007, Longines is proud to support this internationally acclaimed event, which epitomizes the core values of the brand: tradition, performance and elegance. As a tribute to the strong relationship that it has developed with the Parisian tournament, the winged hourglass brand decided to launch an exclusive edition: the Conquest 1/100th Roland Garros. Touches of orange on the hands, the dial or the flange indexes subtly hint at the iconic clay of the French Open courts, while the case back is engraved with the logo of Roland Garros.
