Longines ushers in a gilded age for the spin-off collection of its beloved DolceVita family.

The definitive Longines DolceVita, inspired by a legendary piece created by the Swiss watchmaker in 1927, has long adorned women&rsquo;s wrists who favour its elegant sensibility.
Spinning off from the Longines DolceVita family, the Mini DolceVita collection was inaugurated in 2023 as a fresh expression of the watch brand&rsquo;s &ldquo;Elegance is an attitude&rdquo; mantra. The ultra-refined wristwatch harks back to Longines&rsquo; long history of jewellery watches which date back as far as the 19th century and is a wonderful revival of this heritage.

This year, the Mini DolceVita is enriched with new iterations in 18k yellow gold and rose gold with the diamond-set variant offered with a gold bracelet and the unset with a leather strap. Flaunting a sophisticated aesthetic, the new Mini DolceVita series is presented in a rectangular case in yellow or rose gold measuring 21.5 mm x 29 mm.
The most precious of the new variations is the model set with 38 Top Wesselton diamonds, paired with a 106-link bracelet in yellow or rose gold. The bracelet&rsquo;s delicate links are finely assembled in a staggered formation that allows the watch to embrace the wrist with suppleness and comfort.
Featured in all the new renditions is a rectangular silvered Roman dial, featuring flinqu&eacute; decoration with gentle geometric motifs embossed in relief with a guilloch&eacute;-work effect. Complemented with painted blue Roman numerals and blued steel hands, these motifs, along with a sub-second dial displayed in a square sub-dial at 6 o&rsquo;clock, contrast beautifully with the luminous gold of the case.

For the two unset versions, their black leather strap is fitted with a tongue buckle in matching 18k yellow or rose gold of the case. Evoking graceful lines, discreet proportions and timeless spirit, these four unique timepieces are powered by a high-precision L178 quartz movement and are water-resistant up to 3 bars or 30 metres.
Once again, Longines proves its ability and adeptness at reinterpreting the &ldquo;Elegance is an attitude&rdquo; concept, transforming it into a stunning icon with stylish and sleek yet subtle qualities as embodied by the brand&rsquo;s Ambassadors of Elegance: Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Winslet, Suzy, Zhao Liying and Barbara Palvin.
