Numerous visitors witnessed this 5-star-event at the Hallenstadion and admired the performances of the world’s best riders and horses.

Bertram Allen (IRL) on Molly Malone V finished second while Rolf-Göran Bengtsson from Sweden riding Casall ASK reached the third place. The winner was presented with a beautiful Longines timepiece by Mr. Charles Villoz, Vice-President of Longines. The winner of Friday’s Longines Grand Prix, Penelope Leprevost (FRA) on Flora de Mariposa, was as well among the lucky ones to receive an elegant watch of the Swiss watch brand.
The Official Watch of the Mercedes-Benz CSI Zurich was the new Conquest Classic Moonphase. This chronograph combines Longines’ passion for equestrian sports with the horological and traditional know-how of the brand. The sophistication of this model echoes the excellence and elegance of the stars of the equestrian universe.
The partnership between Longines and the Mercedes-Benz CSI Zurich is highly representative of Longines' intrinsic values, such as elegance, performance and the passion for horses and equestrian sports and reaffirms the Swiss watch brand's commitment in this field.
Longines' passion for equestrian sports dates back to 1878 with the production of a chronograph engraved with a jockey and his mount. Today, the brand is involved in show-jumping, flat racing and endurance competitions.
