Bachendorf’s & Longines Celebrate 150 Years of the Kentucky Derby Bachendorf’s hosted an elegant afternoon honoring 150 years of the Kentucky Derby with Longines, the race’s Official Timekeeper. Guests enjoyed mint juleps, hors d’oeuvres by Le Bilboquet, and an exclusive first look at the Mini DolceVita Limited Edition model, created to commemorate the milestone. The event featured a special appearance of the Official 150th Kentucky Derby Trophy, while attendees admired never-before-seen Longines Mini DolceVita models and a selection of the brand’s heritage timepieces. Adding a personal touch, June Leschek of I Do Illustration hand-etched beaded mint julep cups for guests to take home. The afternoon concluded with remarks from Longines Corporate Trainer, Harry E. McLellan IV, celebrating the brand’s deep-rooted ties to the Derby. Guests departed with Bachendorf’s gift bags and memories of a fun day filled with history, craftsmanship, and tradition.
