For nearly 200 years, Longines has been a company founded on the principles of elegance and tradition. Celebrated for it's pilot's watches, clean lines and immaculate Swiss precision, Longines is a company that has historically consistently innovated new and exciting watch making technologies, propelling the whole timepiece industry forward in turn . Worn by the likes of Amelia Earhart, the watches were simultaneously used by explorers and fashion forward individuals as well as the world's vagabonds and sporting stars. Naturally, when I got an invite to a special lunch at the Longine's Stakes Day I couldn't wait for the experience!

The luncheon was adorned with beautiful white roses & hydrangeas, the perfect backdrop to any photo

I had the pleasure of meeting the beautiful actress Aishwarya Rai (the Longines Global ambassador), before she rushed off to present the brand's prize for elegance on the field
