Worthy inheritors of a tradition of good taste and refinement, Les Elégantes de Longines crystallise the fertile period of the Roaring Twenties. The 2008 collection harmoniously orchestrates shape, proportion, volume and mechanics, reviving the splendours of a daring, exceptionally feminine period. This year’s trio are distinguished by a subtle architectural reinterpretation, recalling the art deco period.
