Christian Kukuk embodies mastery and elegance in the world of show jumping — values that Longines has always shared. Born into a family deeply rooted in equestrian traditions—his grandfather a Hauptsattelmeister (Master of Horsemanship), his father a successful rider, and his mother employed by the German Olympic Committee for Equestrian Sports—Christian discovered his passion for horses at an early age. After training under his mother, he refined his skills at Ludger Beerbaum’s prestigious stable in Riesenbeck, where he developed a unique approach combining technical precision with sensitivity. This experience propelled him to the highest level of international show jumping and earned him a reputation for talent, composure, and analytical thinking. Renowned for his consistency and calm under pressure, Christian has delivered outstanding performances in the sport’s most demanding arenas. His ability to maintain focus and build a harmonious connection with his horses makes him a complete athlete admired by peers and fans alike. These qualities—precision, perseverance, and natural elegance—reflect the spirit that Longines has championed for generations, highlighting the brand’s enduring relationship with the equestrian world—one built on passion, performance, and respect for tradition.
