Rising Above: The Art of Time returns with new cinematic chapters celebrating the masters behind the sport — riders, artisans, creators, and caretakers whose craft is shaped by patience, precision, and purpose.

Following the acclaimed debut of the Rising Above franchise, Longines and the Longines Global Champions Tour prepare to unveil the next chapters of Rising Above: The Art of Time - a season dedicated to the deeper artistry behind mastery.
A signature content franchise created by Longines and the Longines Global Champions Tour, Rising Above explores the shared values of excellence, elegance, and endurance that unite elite show jumping with the world of fine watchmaking. Each season uncovers a new dimension of craft; this year, the spotlight turns to the creators, caretakers, and visionaries whose devotion transforms skill into art.
In The Art of Time, patience, purpose, and precision take centre stage. Through eight cinematic portraits, viewers discover the individuals who dedicate their lives to honing a craft - riders, artisans, designers, grooms, and more - revealing how time itself becomes their guide, their challenge, and their muse.
