　　The cross-industry combination of watches, equestrian sports, and millinery brings a fresh touch of style to equestrian events. Looking back, Longines' elegant connection with the designer began at the 2013 Longines Beijing International Equestrian Masters. Stephen Jones, one of the world's few exceptionally talented hat designers, created an elegant headpiece especially for this grand event, which was beautifully presented by the famous actress Qin Lan.

　　An elegant hat meticulously crafted by Mr Stephen Jones, inspired by Laguna Beach in California, so beloved by Impressionist painters: the stiff chiffon on the headpiece resembles rippling waves on a beach at sunset, romantic and serene; the unique pink exudes a spring-like atmosphere, revealing a subtle, dreamy charm; while the lively silhouette and lightweight texture immediately evoke a passionate yet graceful steed. The famous film star Qin Lan wore this one-of-a-kind creation to stunning effect, where her gorgeous attire and the elegant hat complemented one another brilliantly, while a Longines Conquest stainless steel and rose gold ladies' watch added a touch of gentle and charming colour to the wrist, perfectly interpreting lively elegance through the eyes of a fashion master.

　　The racecourse, full of passion and wonder, is a creative space of infinite possibilities, while carefully crafted luxury headwear serves as an exquisite miniature of trendsetting style. Longines has joined forces across industries with a renowned designer to present the tacit affinity between millinery and equestrianism, writing a fresh and enchanting fashion interpretation for the timelessly classic attitude of elegance.
