Indeed, the brand has a lot of experience in timing ski events.&nbsp;<br>After the creation of its first chronograph in 1878, the brand officially entered the world of competition in 1924 in Chamonix. The French ski resort hosts the International Winter Sports week, in other words, the first Winter Olympic Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/longineschronographe1878.jpg\" alt=\"Le premier chronographe de Longines en 1878\" class=\"wp-image-10000018276\" \/><figcaption><strong>Created in 1878, the first Longines chronograph was used during horse races.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From then, Longines never stopped the innovation process to improve skier timing. Which consequently improved the public perception, whether they watch it on TV or live. Indeed, ski races have gradually become as exciting, accurate and detailed as automobile races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A long way towards perfect accuracy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After Chamonix, and for some more years, calculating the duration of races was still technically difficult, between start and finish. It was even random sometimes. Weather conditions tended also to make it difficult. But in 1937, Longines presented its first invention and started a revolution in chronometric precision; its new timing system presented electronically triggered chronographs via photoelectric light-beam starting gates. The first devices were installed in Crans-Montana in 1945.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/longinesskichronoaspen1950.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10000018349\" \/><figcaption><strong>In 1950, Longines started using a new timing system during the Aspen World championship.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the world championship in Aspen in 1950, the Maison used new electromechanically gates. Which recorded both the starting time and the finish time of racers.\u00a0<br>Another invention from Longines was the Chronoson in 1951. This audio device counts the seconds before the skier is authorized to begin the race.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/longinesoslo1952.jpg\" alt=\"Longines et le ski - Oslo - 1952\" class=\"wp-image-10000018320\" \/><figcaption><strong>Longines photoelectric cells devices in Oslo in 1952<\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/longineswengen1955.jpg\" alt=\"L'histoire de Longines et des comp\u00e9tition de ski - Wengen 1955\" class=\"wp-image-10000018351\" \/><figcaption><strong>A skier is getting ready to start the race on the Wengen slope during the World cup in 1955. His time will be recorded thanks to a Longines device.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1956, for the World Cup in Saint-Moritz, the official control organiser authorised Longines to use the quartz technology. That was the first time ever. The watchmaking brand had developed the equipment some years before. But the official supervisory body directors had refused to use it, saying the quartz chronometric accuracy was way too revolutionary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Longines and ski, from sound to image<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1960s saw the beginning of another revolution: the TV!

It enables the real-time and continuous measurement of the athlete\u2019s speed, acceleration, deceleration, the time it takes to reach 100 km\/h and an analysis of jumps. All of this data is presented in the form of TV graphics to viewers at home.
