Since its establishment over a century ago, Longines has been a very desired brand among the watch lovers. 

Longines is one of the legendary brands that continue to amaze the industry by its innovations. In 1867, this Swiss watch manufacturer produced its first in-house watch movement 20A Caliber. The 20A movement was created with an anchor escapement that had been used in some pendulum clocks. This caliber was wound through a pendant crown. The innovative movement of the brand received overwhelming responses in the industry and was awarded at the Paris universal exhibition in 1867.

In 1889 the company registered its famous winged hourglass logo. It has remained the oldest registered trademark to this day. The Swiss watchmaker has managed to continue manufacturing high-quality watches and made itself one of the most trusted watch brands in the world as we have known at the present day. 

Over the years the Longines watches have expanded into a versatile family that houses countless wonderful choices for watch lovers in different styles. The Longines Mini watch is one of those especially designed for its niche as a jewelry watch for women. 

In 2015, keeping up its own tradition of classic elegance, the Longines brand launched its smallest watch, the Longines Mini collection. This tiny watch was delicately adorned with diamond sets with straps that are available in options of luminous colours from vivid red, to lavender, beige to classic black. The bright hues of the watches bring an enlightening touch that can suit its wearers’ outfit on both casual and dressy occasions. These new miniature timepieces have successfully won the hearts of many ladies who were seeking a notable jewellery watch. 

Case and Bezel 

Equipped with a case with only 16 mm diameter, the Longines Mini collection is the smallest watch from the brand amongst its current family of watch collections. Some models are even smaller than the caps of the top of fountain pens. These miniature watches reveal the delicate beauty as a simple yet elegant Longines watch. 

All of the watches in the Longines Mini collection are well crafted by robust stainless steel. Its bezel is bejewelled with a set of 42 diamonds that add a touch of luxury to the tiny watch. Despite its feminie appearance, its case of the watch is durable and water-resistant up to a standard of 30 meters. 

Dial and Bracelet

One main attractiveness of the collection should be its straps. These Longines mini watches offer options of four strap or bracelets in bright colors including sharp red, soft lavender, elegant beige and classic black. The colour range was inspired by the colors of lipsticks that are popular in the market. The versatile hues can suit ladies with different tastes. It doesn’t matter how your tastes are, you can definitely find your favourite one. 

All of the colors of these straps contrast nicely with its elegant mother-of-pearl dial and the silver colour hours and minutes hands. Its hour markers on the quarter positions are also paved with diamonds. Its balance of the bright colour strap and simple dial has made the watch easier to match with any outfit in your wardrobe to suit your mood.
