The younger sister of Longines’ legendary DolceVita collection presents itself in a new guise. For the first time in its history, the Mini DolceVita adorns itself in 18-carat gold, offering four extraordinary variations.
The DolceVita family holds a special place in Longines’ universe. Its roots trace back to the 1920s when the Swiss watchmaking house introduced an elegant rectangular model. In 1997, this heritage inspired the creation of the DolceVita line, which quickly became one of the brand’s bestsellers. In 2023, the Mini DolceVita subcollection was added, interpreting the original design in more delicate proportions.
The new gold models bring unprecedented sophistication to this line. The first version embodies purist elegance with a black alligator leather strap. The second is a true piece of jewelry craftsmanship, with the case adorned by 38 Top Wesselton diamonds and a bracelet composed of 106 precisely crafted gold elements. Each variant is available in both 18-carat yellow and rose gold.
The silver guilloché dial with Roman numerals exemplifies Swiss precision. The flinqué technique creates a subtle relief that adds depth to the dial. Blued hands, including the one in the characteristic square subdial at 6 o’clock, complete the harmonious whole, and the modest case dimensions of 21.50 × 29 millimeters house a modern L178 quartz movement. An interesting feature is the water resistance to 30 meters, making the Longines Mini DolceVita a practical companion for everyday wear.
