Longines Ambassadress of Elegance Chi-Ling Lin passed through Saint-Imier on Thursday 26 September 2013. The Taiwanese actress and top model spent the entire day at Longines, finally getting a chance to discover the entire production process and the museum of the Swiss watch brand.

Taiwanese actress and top model Chi-Ling Lin was Longines’s honored guest on Thursday 26 September 2013. She was provided an opportunity to visit the company’s workshops and see for herself the various steps in the production of Longines’s famed timepieces. A visit to the Longines Museum, fully renovated last year, proved one of the high points of a day full of emotion and discovery. Chi-Ling Lin was obviously fascinated by all the watches that have written the company’s history.

A Longines ambassadress since 2005, Chi-Ling Lin embodies to perfection the Longines catchline “Elegance is an Attitude”. Every hour of her visit and its various activities as well as her graceful distinction and wit delighted the people she met.

At the close of her visit, Chi-Ling Lin declared “It gives me great pleasure to be in Saint-Imier and in its superb Swiss mountainous countryside. I really enjoyed my visit to Longines. You can really feel the company’s expertise and the history of a brand that has long defined the ideals of elegance”.

Longines has been based at Saint-Imier in Switzerland since 1832. Its watchmaking expertise reflects a strong devotion to tradition, elegance and performance. Longines has generations of experience as official timekeeper of world championships and as partner of international sports federation. Known for the elegance of its timepieces, Longines is a member of the Swatch Group Ltd, the World’s leading manufacturer of horological products. With the winged hourglass as its emblem, the brand has outlets in over 130 countries.

As a graphic designer, I'm fascinated by the crossroads between technology and aesthetics. Horology is one of these crafts, where art and engineering come together to produce mechanical wonders that grace the eye. WatchPaper was born from the desire to create an online tool where I can share my passion for watches.
