LONGINES Hosts French Open Trophy In India
Ace tennis player Yuki Bhambri who will represent India at Roland Garros this year visited the Connaught Place-based Longines Boutique to witness the display launch of the fourth Indian edition of the newly-named Roland-Garros Junior Wild-Card Competition Trophy.
The French Tennis Federation (FFT), organizers of the world’s premier clay court event – Roland-Garros (aka The French Open), in association with All India Tennis Association (AITA) launched the fourth Indian edition of the newly-named Roland-Garros Junior Wild-Card Competition by Longines which is aimed at promoting young talents and clay-court tennis in India.
Yuki who was presented with a Conquest 1/100th Roland Garros timepiece on this occasion said,”I am extremely excited to witness this trophy up close and personal. Longines has a close relationship with Roland Garros and the Conquest 1/100th Roland Garros model is a fitting tribute to this. It is a beautiful timepiece which in my mind is a great representation of sporting elegance.”
Official Partner and Timekeeper of the French Open at Roland-Garros since 2007, the brand decided to launch 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.
