Tennis Wimbledon has Rolex,
Royal Ascot Horse Race has Longiness
Olympics has Omega

All very classy events.

Hublot has somehow penetrated into the footballing world...well that picture of Sepp Blatter’s corrupted FIFA face says it all!



Guess LVMH did a good job transitioning TAG to Hublot as official time keeper, if I recall correctly that TAG was before (someone please confirm).

I must admit, I only recently discovered just how 'big' Longines actually is. You woudn't think so, if you just look at the perception of the brand in the USA. However, on a worldwide scale.....Longines is a force to be reckoned with. I was also surprised at how massive Cartier is too.

Longines is also the official time keeper for the Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stskes, & Belmont Stakes).
