WHAT WE LOVE:
The DolceVita ("sweet life") is Longines' flagship dress watch for women — a rectangular case form first introduced in 1997 that takes its visual reference points from the Art Deco period of Swiss watchmaking and its name from Federico Fellini's 1960 film. The ref. L5.255.5.79.7 is the small version of the DolceVita in its most warm and decorative configuration: stainless steel case with 18-karat rose gold crown, case sides set with 46 diamonds, and a matching bracelet in stainless steel with 18-karat rose gold cap.
The silver "flinqué" dial is the detail that most rewards close attention — flinqué being the French term for engine-turned guilloche, here applied as a fine wave or radial pattern pressed directly into the silver dial surface that creates a subtle dimensional quality under light. Against this ground the blued-steel sword-shaped hands and the blue-painted Roman numerals provide a cool contrast to the warm rose gold tones of the case and bracelet. The small seconds at 6 o'clock — present on this configuration — provides the visual element that gives the DolceVita's rectangular dial its balanced symmetry. The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, the 30-metre water resistance, and the Calibre L178 quartz movement complete a watch that is at once entirely classical and entirely specific to Longines' own design language.
