Longines watches...art deco influence and other great designs!

[diamondseeker2006]

I think I have finally found some watches that I love! I looked on the Longines site last night and they have some beautiful styles! Really different that anything else....more detail. Some remind me of Cartier but at a more reasonable price.

The BelleArti has the most beautiful art deco design. I unfortunately can't link the one I'd want, but it is smaller, has diamonds on the bezel, MOP, and the stainless bracelet. (Reference L2.194.0.83.6)

I've always liked the Dolce Vita for a rectangular watch:

I even like the Evidenza just as an alternate watch. This one has roman numerals which reminds me of Cartier:

Look at it in rose gold with the diamonds!

The Time Zone is an authorized dealer. You have to call for prices so I am not sure about the discount. I need to try some on in person before considering ordering one. I'd prefer to buy local if possible.

Thanks, Jen! I bought a Dolce Vita, too! I bought this one for everyday. It has the MOP dial and diamonds for the markers. I bought the BelleArti with diamonds on the bezel for a more dressy watch.

Loreli, thank you, too!
