Longines and Alpine Skiing: A Swiss Watchmaking Brand in the Starting Gate!

For the fourth consecutive year and after an absence of 10 years, the watchmaking company has put its expertise at the service of the skiing circuit once more as the official timekeeper for the International Skiing Federation’s Alpine World Cup 2009-2010.

No less than seven technicians arrive three days before the first training session or race is held. Throughout the season, they transport three tons of equipment and, if a video board is installed, a further three tons of material is also required. The number of intermediate times recorded varies from two to five, depending on the type of skiing involved. In addition, speed-measuring devices are also set up during the downhill and Super-G events. The entire timing system, which is officially approved and fitted with a secondary back-up facility, provides measurements that are accurate to 1/100th of a second. All of the equipment is designed to operate across a temperature range of -20°C to +50°C.
