The brand is committed to delivering accurate, unimpeachable results to one millionth of a second, not only to the athletes and the spectators at the events but to the billion viewers around the world. In addition to the customized timing and scoring equipment adapted to the needs of each sporting event, LONGINES is responsible for the on-venue displays and scoreboards, the TV and virtual graphics seen both at the venues and on television screens around the world, and the commentator information systems that allow broadcasters and other media specialists to report results to their audiences in real time. From the electronic start pistols and starting blocks to incredibly accurate photo finish cameras and electronic distance measuring devices, LONGINES delivers a level of precise, accurate measurement that has led to its new long-term partnership with the Commonwealth Games Federation.
