[00:00:00] Dolce Vita which means the good life or the sweet life. Did I teleport you to Italy? Oh! You wish! Hello and welcome to Luxe Insider with me or host Anita Khatri.
[00:00:21] In my last episode, I mentioned that I am going to review a Longine timepiece which has my heart. Well, here you go ladies and gentlemen too. If you are looking for the gift for your special one even more since Valentine is just around the corner.
[00:00:42] It's the Mini Dolce Vita a petite version of the classic Longine Dolce Vita. The Dolce Vita was introduced in the mid 90s as an ode to a glamorous Italian way of living. It takes its design cues from a 1920s Longine model.
[00:01:06] The 1920s was an era that saw the boom of the Art Deco style. Longine has positioned itself as an aspirational and an affordable brand. And ladies, if you are looking for the perfect accessory which is elegant and an investment your search ends here.
[00:01:31] To wear a Longine signature rectangular watch on your wrist is to embrace an easy going lifestyle defined by contemporary elegance. It's fashion forward yet the Longine Dolce Vita also transcends time and appeals to collectors from all generation and lifestyles.
[00:01:58] It's an absolute watch box must have at an attractive entry level price range. Today I am discovering elegance in the smallest detail with the latest Longine Mini Dolce Vita.
[00:02:15] With a name like Mini you would assume that Longine has slimmed down the profile for the new piece and you would be right. Measuring in a 29mm the stainless steel release walks the line between jewelry accessory and contemporary timepiece.
[00:02:37] A fact further compounded by the different dial options and matching leather strap options. And if a leather strap isn't your beat Longine has got you covered with its metal strap badens as well. The Longine Mini Dolce Vita Slimmer profile makes the option of an automatic movement challenging.
[00:03:01] So the brand is opted to power the entire collection with the L178 quarts moment. This square faced stunner is a versatile accessory for it can be paired with a well tailored spring or summer suit or a cocktail evening or even a holiday outing.
[00:03:27] If we had to guess we'd say that's more than worth it for the dressy wear. With spring summer round the corner and with its colours I would just say this is a perfect accessory to find a place in your closet.
[00:03:44] The Mini Dolce Vita features a discrete profile and classic styling that makes it the perfect accessory for any occasion. I know I must be sounding repetitive but I'm saying this because when you indulge in the watch this watch can be your perfect 24x7 companion.
[00:04:07] With the newly designed stainless steel bracelet comprising 198 links this watch not only exudes a dwelled spirit but also provides extraordinary comfort to the wearer. It is very smooth and this bracelet is also newly introduced bracelet by Longine.
[00:04:26] The highlight of the Mini Dolce Vita collection is a case adorned with 38 IFVVS top vessel diamonds adding a touch of opulence to the watch. The Cosmos Circular Dial inside the rectangular case is a sophisticated touch featuring a Silver Sundry background,
[00:04:50] a white matte art rack, silver sundry inner circle and a white matte round small second sub-dial at 6 o'clock. Painted Roman numerals and blued steel hands ensure exceptional legibility. The Mini Dolce Vita is available in multiple strap variants, metal and alligator strap.
[00:05:19] Of course you have multiple color variants in the alligator strap options. Now coming to the main question, what is the price? Price for this collection begins at Rs.1,55,000 and goes upwards to Rs.3,80,000. With its discrete profile, classic styling and aesthetic variations that are at once timely and timeless
[00:05:52] the Mini Dolce Vita is a small but mighty masterpiece that expresses in equal part quite luxury and contemporary elegance. Have I convinced you already to get your hands on the Mini Dolce Vita or do you have any other alternatives?
[00:06:14] If this is your first watch to build your luxury watch wardrobe then this is it. Go get it now and do share your images with me styling the watch. And that's my cue to say goodbye. I'll be back soon.
