The Longines Master Collection Ladies Watch Worn by Jennifer Lawrence

Swiss watch manufacturer Longines have announced their latest “Ambassador of Elegance” as Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence. Of all the luxury women’s watches on offer, she elected to wear a Longines Master Collection Ladies watch with a cherry red strap, mother of pearl dial and colourful moonphase complication. We thought it only right to look at this watch in more detail…

Named the Longines Master Collection for a reason, the watches here are some of the brand’s most technically and aesthetically proud, powered by only Swiss made self-winding mechanical movements and adorned with elegant leaf-shaped hands and clean dials. The series was first launched in 2005 and has since been used as a launch pad for a number of intricate complications; from simple date displays to chronograph, moonphase and annual calendars. As such, the Longines Master watches are known as some of their most innovative and versatile, coveted by the wrists of regular watch wearers and avid collectors.

The Longines Master Collection Ladies watch sported on the wrist of Jennifer Lawrence is reference L2.409.4.87.2. It has an timeless elegance to it, characterised largely by its perfectly round and highly polished stainless steel case. The dimensions sit at 34mm in diameter and 11.1mm in height with a lug distance of 18mm. Its bezel is perfectly smooth and fixed, matching with the smooth and polished case chamfers and gently curved lugs which help adapt the bright red alligator leather strap to the wrist. The strap secures by a stainless steel triple safety folding clasp with a push-piece opening mechanism. The case of Longines Master Collection Ladies watch also presents a small knurled non-screw locked crown at 3 o’clock water resistant to 30 metres.

It is below the scratch resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass where the real beauty of the Longines Master Collection Ladies watch lies. Set upon a backdrop of iridescent white mother of pearl is a stunning moonphase aperture at 6 o’clock beautifully dressed in blues and yellows to show the current phase of the moon. To blend in with the rest of the dial, the clouds are also crafted from mother of pearl. The moonphase complication is surrounded by a silvered date ring to match with the silvered leaf-shaped hands for the hours, minutes and seconds. The minutes scale is presented on the sloped flange to make room for 12 Top Wesselton diamond dot indices totalling 0.055 carats.

Powering Jennifer Lawrence’s Longines Master Collection Ladies watch is the L899 automatic winding movement. Alongside the hours, minutes, seconds, date and moonphase function, it promises a frequency of at 25’200 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 72 hours. You can admire the movement’s intricate assembly through the sapphire crystal exhibition case back including the Cotes de Geneva striped rotor engraved with the Longines logo in gold.
