FACES: When and why do you wear a watch?
Andrea Monica Hug: I wear a watch every day – both as an accessory and, of course, as a timepiece. It has a special place in my home, a jewelry box, where I put it on in the morning and take it off in the evening.
Marco Varga: I actually always wear a watch. I think it simply belongs to a complete outfit. And when I’m not wearing a watch, it feels like something is missing.
F: Is a watch purely a timepiece or a luxury accessory for you?
AMH: For me, a watch is first and foremost a timepiece. Naturally, I have high expectations when it comes to choosing the model I wear every day, so I want a high standard of quality and an appealing design that emphasizes my personality and style.
MV: A bit of both! I use them, of course, to make sure I’m always on time. Nevertheless, a watch is also an accessory for me!
F: What do you associate with the Longines watch brand?
AMH: For me, Longines stands for a traditional Swiss watch brand. The products are timeless, elegant and durable. From advertising, I know ambassadors such as Oscar winner Kate Winslet or tennis legend Andre Agassi, who emphasize the qualities of Longines such as elegance, success and generosity.
MV : For me, Longines means timeless elegance, and the brand fits my mindset very well. I also associate Longines with tradition and consistency.
F: What do you particularly like about Longines watches?
AMH: The simple design can be worn by any age group and all year round. It combines old and young, modernity and elegance – you don’t buy a Longines watch to hide it away in your wardrobe, but to wear it every day or to give it as a gift to a loved one.
MV : What I associate with Longines is also reflected in the design of the watches, which particularly appeals to me.
F: What outfits do you combine Longines watches with?
AMH: In my job as a photographer, I like to wear simple, classic business attire. A Longines watch always fits here. But even if I wear a black dress for festive occasions, I don’t have to think about whether the watch fits – it suits me and therefore always works.
MV : I prefer to combine Longines watches with elegant outfits.
F: Which of the Longines models do you like best and why?
AMH: The Longines DolceVita in stainless steel in midnight blue is a particularly feminine model in my eyes. I really appreciate being a woman and like to emphasize this with accents such as an elegant watch. La Grande Classique de Longines is a watch that I would even pass on to my granddaughter. Not only does it look classically beautiful, it also sits particularly comfortably on the wrist. The diamonds on the dial sparkle every time you look at the watch, turning the brief seconds in everyday life to look at the time into a special moment.
MV: The dark blue model from The Longines Master Collection, because it matches my style perfectly! An elegant and timeless piece.
