News The Longines Ambassador of Elegance Andre Agassi was in Paris in June at the French Open Tennis Championships. He held an autograph session to the delight of his many fans for the inauguration of the new Hour Passion boutique at 3, Rue de Sèvres in Paris.
The tennisman also had an opportunity to test the Longines Smash Corner and spent a good deal of time giving budding players advice. This facility, set up in the Roland Garros Stadium and in front of the town hall in Paris, gave the public an opportunity to measure the speed of their service. Longines’ income from its use goes to the charity foundations run by Stephanie Graf and Andre Agassi, namely «Children for Tomorrow» and the «Andre Agassi Foundation for Education».
This year at Roland Garros, the brand - official timekeeper of the event from 2007 - presented its Conquest Classic. Fitted exclusively with self-winding calibres, the models in this collection are at the same time highly fashionable and timeless. As the event watch, the Conquest Classic chronograph boasts a column-wheel movement (L688) specially developed by ETA exclusively for Longines.
