Introduced: 2015
Purpose / Inspiration: The Symphonette collection was created as Longines’ answer to the jewelry watch—a line of elegant, oval-cased timepieces made exclusively for women, blending horology with high fashion. Inspired by the curves of a lyrical musical instrument, it’s built for formal occasions and everyday refinement. Small, delicate, and full of visual rhythm—hence the name.
Designer: Created by Longines’ women’s collection team, with a focus on refined shapes and jewelry-like appeal
