In 1927, the American aviator Charles Lindbergh earned international fame, having performed a non-stop solo flight across the North Atlantic in his Spirit of St. Louis. In 1933, accompanied by his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, he undertook a trip of 47,000 km around the North Atlantic.

A powerful aircraft, endowed with a 710 hp engine and a variable propeller, took the young couple to New Foundland, Greenland, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal, the Azores, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde before returning to the USA via the Gambia, Brazil and Cuba. The purpose of this expedition was to discover future air routes across the far north.

In the course of his long expedition Charles relied on a customized wrist chronograph from Longines. This  Longines watch served to measure time to the fifth of a second. The chronograph mechanism offered a function of tachymeter, capable of measuring speeds up to 500 kph.

Now, the brand is pleased to bring out a re-edition of this remarkable watch, dubbed Longines Lindbergh’s Atlantic Voyage Watch. The new Longines watch is a true ode to the historical feat, accomplished by the outstanding personality of Charles Lindbergh.

The renewed watch features a case, crafted in either steel or rose gold, measuring 47.50 mm in diameter. Assembled with a sapphire crystal, the case embraces a silvered dial. The dial is equipped with blued steel hands. The dial is also completed with a small seconds counter, located at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute sub-dial, nestled at 3 o’clock. The case-back of the watch is fitted with a see-through cover, which reveals the enchanting details of the movement.

The Longines Lindbergh’s watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement – L705 (ETA A07 231), embellished with 27 jewels. It features a balance wheel, moving back and forth at the rate of 28,000 vibrations per hour.

The movement provides a 46-hour power reserve. Along with the functions of hours, minutes and small seconds, the reissued chronograph incorporates a function of tachymeter, which measures speeds up to 500 kph.

The Longines Lindbergh’s Atlantic Voyage Watch, is secured to the wearer’s wrist with a genuine brown alligator strap, fitted with a buckle.

This summer, Ariella Kaeslin, the recent European Vault Champion, as well as the second prize winner at the World Championships, was appointed a new ambassador for the renowned Longines brand watch. For the moment, Ariella is actively involved in the international advertising push for the novel PrimaLuna Ladies Collection, launched by the brand.

Autumn, 2009, turned out to be very busy time for Ariella Kaeslin: the young athlete was working up for the World Championships in London, which concluded the international gymnastics season. Fortunately, such intensive work was fully rewarded: Ariella became a silver medalist at the competition. The first Swiss female gymnast, who earned a place on the winners’ rostrum at the World Championships, visited Longines’ headquarters, located in Saint-Imier.

It was Longines President Walter von Kanel, who saluted the charming visitor. Ariella received a lot of media attention and signed autographs for the members of the local gymnastics club. Then, she was shown around the Longines’ watch and timekeeping museum and its production facilities. At the end of her visit, the young gymnast was presented with a remarkable timekeeper from the “La Grande Classique de Longines” collection.

In 2008, the 22-year old athlete was conferred a title of the Swiss Sports Personality. Her bright talent equally impressed the audience and professional judges. Every time Ariella steps on the platform, she demonstrates movements, characterized by precision, harmony and elegance. These are the very values deeply cherished by the brand.

The watch company Longines is proud to continuously associate itself with the world of gymnastics. It all started in 1912, when the brand was chosen to serve as the official timekeeper of the Swiss Federal Gymnastics Meet, conducted in Basel. In the course of the 80-meter sprint event, Longines, one of the most popular brands was offered a perfect opportunity to introduce its innovative electromechanical timekeeping system, equipped with start and finish tapes.

A genuine breakthrough, this automatic timing system strengthened the brand’s position in the world of sports. Since 1985, due to its technological accomplishments, Longines has been appointed the official timekeeper of all artistic and rhythmic gymnastics competitions, arranged by the “Federation Internationale de Gymnastique”.
