With 2 variations for each gold tone
Swiss watchmaker Longines has expanded its Mini DolceVita collection by introducing new bi-material models that combine stainless steel with 18-carat yellow or rose gold. These elegant timepieces are available in diamond-adorned and understated versions, exemplifying Longines’ mastery in exquisitely crafting jewellery watches.​
The Mini DolceVita is an extension of the Longines DolceVita family, which draws inspiration from a legendary rectangular model created by the brand in 1927. This collection continues Longines’ distinguished tradition of producing fine jewellery watches—a craft the Swiss watchmaker has perfected since the 19th century. ​
Each new Mini DolceVita model features a rectangular case measuring 21.50 mm x 29.00 mm, crafted from stainless steel and complemented by a crown of 18-carat yellow or rose gold. The collection offers two variations for each gold tone:​
- Diamond-adorned models: These timepieces are set with 38 Top Wesselton diamonds, totalling 0.456 carats, tracing the case’s refined silhouette. ​
- Understated versions: These models are free from diamond embellishments for those who prefer a more subtle elegance.​
The bracelets mirror the cases’ bi-material design, combining stainless steel with yellow or rose gold elements in a meticulously assembled alternating pattern. This design ensures a supple and comfortable fit on the wrist. ​Each watch features a silvered rectangular dial adorned with Roman numerals, enhanced by delicate flinqué decoration. The geometric patterns are engraved in relief, creating a subtle guilloché effect that catches the light. Blue-painted Roman numerals and blued-steel hands provide an elegant contrast, while the small seconds display, housed in a square sub-dial at 6 o’clock, adds a distinctive touch to the design. ​
The high-precision L178-calibre quartz movement powers these timepieces, which are water-resistant to a depth of 30 metres. With their harmonious blend of materials, delicate proportions, and timeless spirit, the new Mini DolceVita models embody Longines’ philosophy that elegance is an attitude. ​
The Mini DolceVita collection is available through Longines’ official retailers. Pricing varies based on the chosen model and features. For more detailed information, including purchasing options, visit Longines’ official website.​
Longines’ introduction of these bi-material Mini DolceVita models reinforces its commitment to elegance and innovation, offering watch enthusiasts refined timepieces that pay homage to the brand’s rich heritage.
