 Luxury Swiss watchmaker Longines lent an elegant touch to the day of love by hosting the Longines Valentine’s Day Polo Cup 2016 in Dubai, at the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club. Longines was the Title Partner and the Official Watch of the competition. As such, the brand was delighted to present to the spectators the Longines Master Collection watch, which represents three centuries of its watchmaking expertise. The timepiece is notable as much for its intrinsic quality as for its style made up of balanced designs. It features a refined silvered dial with a chronograph and moonphase display, as well as a stainless steel case with a transparent case back that reveals a self-winding mechanical movement. 

 

The much anticipated Polo Cup made for the perfect romantic setting with an exhilarating backdrop. Four polo teams consisting of local and international players competed to win the coveted Longines Polo Cup, along with an elegant Longines watch. The final was played between the Bin Drai Polo and Dr. A Polo teams, with the Bin Drai polo team emerging as winners with 6 goals. In addition to some stylish games of Polo being played, the afternoon was filled with activities that catered to the young and old alike, equestrian enthusiasts and those just looking for some leisure and entertainment. 

 

Truly the sport of kings, Polo fittingly echoes Longines’ values of elegance, performance and tradition, as well as its deep commitment to the equestrian world, which includes partnerships with international institutions and events in the fields of horseracing, show jumping, eventing, endurance, driving and dressage. With yet another important equestrian event to its credit, Longines ensured that it added its signature elegance to this year’s Valentine’s Day celebrations.
