Assertive elegance

SHARING the spotlight alongside the trio of Longines Master 190th Anniversary editions are elegant feminine iterations from the same collection that more than hold their own.

Echoing the limited editions’ subtle sophistication, the new 34 mm Master watches for ladies belie their dainty dimensions with quiet power.

Although the watches’ proportions hark back to that of classic ladies’ timepieces circa the 1980s and 1990s, the lack of heft doesn’t diminish their allure.

These time-and-date models come in 34 mm stainless steel with a range of dial colours, including white mother-of-pearl, silver with barley-corn pattern, as well as blue or champagne with sunray finish.

Enlivening the look are diamonds hour markers, which add a touch of glamour. Paired with leather straps in red, blue, brown, or taupe, each version brims with its own charm and personality.

Living up to the Master collection’s reputation as Longines’ most technical watch range, the 34 mm models are equipped with mechanical movements.

In fact, the movement hails from the same family as the ones powering the Master 190th Anniversary editions.

Presented via an open caseback, the Calibre L888 that drives these ladies’ models is no slouch, offering up to 72 hours of power reserve on a full wind.

An expression of poise and strength, these petite beauties are, by all accounts, masters of their own domain.
