Longines has long been associated with the Olympic games. Remember this Longines Conquest from the 1972 games? However, even before the Olympics, Longines was also working with several other sporting organizations including various Equestrian events, the Tour de France, and the FIS (Fédération Longines replica watches Internationale de Ski).Today's find is a Longines, but it's not a watch, nor is it a clock. In fact, it can't tell you the time at all. Today's find is an antique trunk used by Longines to carry timing equipment in the 1930s. While the retailer claims this trunk was used to carry equipment to and from the Olympic games, we know that not to be true because Longines didn't become an official time keeper until the 1952 games in Oslo. If we had to guess, this Longines replica watches trunk was used to ship equipment to FIS world championships, as that was one event Longines is known to have been sponsoring in the 1930s, the decade of origin for this trunk. This large leather and wooden piece of luggage is adorned with the Longines logo on each side in addition to a reference number.
