THE ULTIMATE JEWELRY-WATCH
Elegance is hidden in the details. The Saint-Imier watchmaker reminds us of this once again with these new references available in a wide array of highly-attractive variations.
The Longines-imagined DolceVita collection, launched back in 1997, takes inspiration from the winged-hourglass brand’s historic rectangular pieces from the Roaring Twenties. The case, boasting a naturally-elegant shape, is enhanced with features that bring out its resolutely-feminine personality even more. The Mini DolceVita watches are endowed with this power to dress wrists with flair. To this end, all the references are created around a compact-sized steel case (21.50 x 29.00 mm) which may come stone-set with 38 IF-VVS Top Wesselton diamonds (or not), paired with three versions of dials. The silver one, known as Cosmo, comprises circles hovered over by blued hands. The hour chapter along with the small seconds at 6 o’clock gift the piece with harmonious Art Deco-style-inspired scenography. The two others, called Roman, play on lines. Here, the numerals reign in a geometric setting. What’s more, variations propose subtly-delicate colored adornments ranging from ivory white, blossoming rose, soothing blue to mint green. All these watches are driven by an accurate quartz L178 caliber.
And, to complete the look of these Mini DolceVita models, each piece is worn on a matching strap or bracelet. The “Cosmo” versions may be complemented by a 198-link metal bracelet or a black leather strap. The “Roman” decked dials come with matching leather alternatives. All these timeless-styled references in the collection go wonderfully-well with an understated or daring trendy outfit.
