Influenced by the Art Deco movement, the 1920’s witnessed a small feminine revolution: corsets disappeared, waists were freed and women liberated. Inspired by the boldness of the Roaring Twenties, Les Elégantes de Longines 2010 are offered in tonneau, rectangular and almond-shaped versions to better honour the brand’s authentic manufactory-made movement from the 1970’s. This precious trio is limited to ten pieces each.
