LONGINES – CONQUEST 1/100th Roland Garros

LONGINES – CONQUEST 1/100th Roland Garros Chronograph Special Edition NEW

Official Partner and Timekeeper of the French Open at Roland-Garros since 2007, Swiss watchmaking company Longines presents a new chronograph keeping time to one hundredth of a second to add to its Conquest collection: the Conquest 1/100th Roland Garros. This special edition, created as a tribute to the greatest tennis tournament on clay courts, houses a unique movement using the latest-generation technologies.

Longines, timekeeper for sporting performances since 1878, is launching a new line of watches that have been specially created for sports which require high precision timing. The Conquest 1/100th series responds to the needs of athletes, professionals and sports fans, besides many others, since it measures multiple intermediary times and has an intuitive analogue display that shows the time to one hundredth of a second using a separate hand. All of this is possible thanks to the latest generation of quartz movement developed exclusively for Longines by ETA.

As a tribute to the strong relationship that it has developed with the Parisian tournament, the winged hourglass brand is launching 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.

The demands required for Longines to reach such an extreme level of precision have led to the development of a new unique quartz movement, the L440. This new model includes a microcontroller with a flash memory that allows the watch to be reset instantly and allows intermediary times to be recorded.

With a diameter of 41 mm, this steel model has an anthracite face that displays hours, minutes, small seconds at 6 o'clock, the date and other chronographic functions: a central seconds hand, a 30-minute stopwatch at 2 o'clock and a 12-hour stopwatch at 10 o'clock.

The hand in orange displays time to one hundredth of a second and is the watch's crowning glory at the centre. The model is also fitted with a steel bracelet and a butterfly clasp.

JEANRICHARD embarks into a high-pressure adventure and presents a new Terrascope model that is made for the adventurers that live life on the fast lane. When time is full of intensity and stunning adventures that cannot be missed, precision is all that counts. The Terrascope Chrono Carbon timepiece represents a recognizable and sharp masculine look, which consists of a multi-layer carbon-fiber case made out of unidirectional carbon fibers, known for being double as strong and resistant to compelling forces. In addition, the timepiece comes with two pusher bumpers in carbon fiber composite to set the Chronograph function.

The bezel is also made out of unidirectional carbon fiber and is accentuated with applied rhodium-coated indexes and a red-marked seconds hand – this gives the watch a slick and smooth style, in combination with the cushion-shaped case. A black “Rubbergator” strap complements the elegant and tone-in-tone look and features a black titanium-folding buckle. The “engine” of this remarkable chronograph timepiece comes in the form of a self-winding JR66 movement and is revealed through the screwed-down sapphire crystal case back.

The Terrascope Chrono Carbon watch, limited to 200 pieces and water-resistant to 100 meters, embodies lightness, practicality and innovation, made to ensure highest reliability and created in one of Switzerland’s most renowned watch manufactures.
