This year the renowned watchmaking brand Longines has the honour to be the official timekeeper of the legendary Royal Ascot races for the forth time. The Asian star Chi Ling Lin, one the Ambassadress of Elegance of the Swiss watchmaking brand, has become the guest of the glamorous event.

Royal Ascot week is considered to be one of the most prestigious sporting events of all time, combining tradition and high performance for almost 300 years.

Longines has been the official timekeeper at the Ascot races since 2007 and has recently signed a contract for a further three years.
But Royal Ascot is not only a prestigious competition – it is also an original fashion show. This year the Royal Ascot Fashion Show took place before the races which showcased the talented British fashion designers Vivienne Westwood, Stephen Jones, Amanda Wakeley, Matthew Williamson and Gieves & Hawkes.
Chi Ling Lin said that she was fascinated by the event. The Asian star was kind enough to grant many interviews with journalists and pose for photographers from all around the world. And in the evening during the gala dinner Chi Ling Lin presented the new ladies’ models in the Longines PrimaLuna collection. The new star of the collection, however, was the Thousand and One Nights model that combines the brilliance of steel with the subtle warmth of rose gold.
