Longines has taken its Mini DolceVita collection to new heights with the addition of 18-carat yellow and rose gold models, elevating this series from its stainless-steel origins. Compact, shiny, and elegantly Art Deco, these watches blend timeless design with modern luxury.
Launched in 2023, the Mini DolceVita family is inspired by Longines' 1927 tank-shaped model, reflecting the brand’s expertise in jewelry-inspired timepieces. This year, four new models further refine the concept with their unique, rectangular 21.5mm by 29mm cases. The silvered dials are beautifully adorned with flinqué decoration, revealing a delicate guilloché effect that catches the light. Roman numerals and slim, blued steel hands create a captivating contrast, while the small seconds subdial at six o'clock adds a vintage charm.
The Mini DolceVita is available on a 106-link gold bracelet set with 38 Top Wesselton diamonds or a black leather strap. Powered by the L178 quartz movement, it offers a water resistance of 30 meters.
The rising cost of gold has impacted the prices of luxury watches, and the Mini DolceVita is no exception. Despite its price tag, the combination of gold, craftsmanship, and size makes this timepiece a valuable addition to any collection.
