Where Rectangular Elegance Meets Double-Strap Style

From Longines, the Swiss watchmaking brand founded in 1832, comes the "LONGINES DOLCEVITA YVY," designed to be worn like an accessory. This timepiece is a collaboration between the Longines DolceVita collection, which has enjoyed immense popularity for both men and women since its debut in 1992, and Yvonne Reichmuth, a designer and fashion stylist based in Zurich.

Choose from Three Colors for the Detachable Leather Band

The Longines DolceVita collection is characterized by its Art Deco-inspired rectangular case and a concept drawing inspiration from the rich Italian lifestyle.
The newly released "Longines DolceVita YVY," a glam-rock collaboration model from this collection that blends grace and elegance to bring out the wearer's inner strength and beauty, is available in two case sizes and three leather colors.
The design was conceived by Yvonne Reichmuth (YVY), a designer and fashion stylist based in Zurich, Switzerland, known for her glam-rock accessories featuring star-shaped studs. This new model is born from her collaboration.
This collaboration was realized through numerous shared points between YVY and Longines, including a deep commitment to details and materials such as leather quality and finishing, and a worldview that evokes the world of equestrianism.
Its most distinctive feature is the detachable wristband. With an interchangeable system that allows for easy strap replacement, wearers can swap straps (sold separately) to match their styling or mood of the day, enjoying fashion that reflects their personal style. This new release transforms the Longines DolceVita, a Longines bestseller, into a stylish and personal accessory.
