Paying homage to Longines’ tradition of quiet luxury that has echoed through the brand for decades, the Mini DolceVita is teeming with heritage — dating back to the 1910s when Longines launched its first rectangular dial shape. Inspired specifically by Longines’ 1927 legend and the original DolceVita collection from 1997, the new timepiece carries forward the brand’s legacy of elegance and sophistication into a new era.
Looking at the new timepiece, the word ‘elegance’ comes to the forefront of our thoughts; as Longines says it best: “Elegance is an attitude,” which also seamlessly aligns with Lawrence being the face behind the launch as an actress who truly embodies elegance and poise. The Mini DolceVita features a discreet profile and classic styling that makes it the perfect accessory for any occasion. With a newly designed stainless steel bracelet comprising 198 links, this watch not only exudes a jeweled spirit but also provides extraordinary comfort to the wearer.

The highlight of the Mini DolceVita collection is a case adorned with 38 IF-VVS Top Wesselton diamonds, adding a touch of opulence to the watch. The Cosmo circular dial inside the rectangular case is a sophisticated touch, featuring a silver sunray background, a white matt hour track, silver sunray inner circle, and a white matt round small seconds subdial. Painted Roman numerals and blued steel hands ensure exceptional legibility.
The Mini DolceVita collection offers a wide range of color options and configurations. From classic models with diamonds bordering the case to fashion-forward models in ivory white, mint green, blossom pink, and serene blue, there’s a perfect choice for every taste. Matching leather straps complete the look, creating a radiant expression of elegance. For those who prefer a more understated look, the collection includes models with cases without diamonds, featuring Roman or Cosmo dials with a variety of finishes. These watches are available with stainless steel bracelets or stylish black or red leather straps.
