For nearly two centuries, the name Longines has been synonymous with traditional Swiss watchmaking values, elegant design, and spirit. Since 1832, the brand has been at the forefront of the watch industry and has become particularly well known for its elegance, precision, and connection to the world of sports.
The DolceVita collection is one of Longines' most famous series, inspired by the brand's first rectangular watch from 1927. The DolceVita collection is now a staple of the watchmaker's range. This classic design is revisited in the Mini DolceVita, the most graceful and discreet member of the family.
The new two-tone models in the Mini DolceVita collection combine stainless steel with 18-carat yellow or rose gold, giving them a modern yet elegant look. Each model has a 6.75 mm high rectangular case, which means it is particularly low when viewed from the side. In practice, this means that it fits perfectly in the hand and appears small even on the most delicate wrist.
The watch case is complemented by a gold crown and is available in two versions: a more understated version and one decorated with 38 Top Wesselton diamonds, which delicately follow the lines of the case, weighing a total of 0.456 carats. The sapphire crystal watch glass has an anti-reflective coating on both sides, so the glare from the watch glass does not interfere with reading the dial.
The silver-colored Roman dial features a flinqué guilloché pattern, which creates an elegant contrast with the blue Roman numerals and blued steel hands. The angular design of the subdial at 6 o'clock further enhances the watch's graceful character. At the heart of these models is the Longines L178 quartz movement, which guarantees precision and reliability in everyday use.
The two-tone metal strap continues the magic of the dial: stainless steel and yellow gold or rose gold-plated links alternate throughout. Thanks to its careful craftsmanship, the bracelet is not only spectacular, but also extremely comfortable to wear. The models are water-resistant to 3 bar (30 meters), making them suitable for the challenges of everyday life.
Every detail of the Mini DolceVita collection reflects the Longines philosophy: elegance is not just a style feature, but an attitude that is also embodied by the brand's ambassadors – Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Winslet, Suzy, Zhao Liying, and Barbara Palvin. Barbara Palvin, the internationally renowned Hungarian model, will be Longines' flagship brand ambassador from the end of 2024. Her personality, natural beauty and modern elegance are a perfect fit with Longines' values.
During her career, she has appeared on the catwalks of the world's largest fashion houses, including as a Victoria's Secret Angel, and has also appeared on the covers of numerous international fashion magazines. Barbara says that the innate elegance represented by Longines is close to her heart in all situations, and she is honored to represent these values worldwide as an ambassador for the brand.
Barbara Palvin's positive charisma and captivating femininity bring a new dimension to Longines' communication and contribute to making the Mini DolceVita collection the choice of modern, stylish women. These watches are designed for those who appreciate understated luxury, classic shapes and classic materials, whether for everyday wear or special occasions. The Mini DolceVita is the perfect choice for those for whom timekeeping is not just a function, but also an expression of personal style.
