At a Longines dinner held in the hills above Rome on Sept. 8, Longines officially introduced the Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning Winslet as its newest ambassador, saying in a media release that she "is the perfect embodiment of the values upheld by Longines. Thanks to Kate Winslet's contribution, the elegance of Longines' products has gained a new direction."

Also attending the dinner were two of Winslet's fellow co-ambassadors, Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a Longines veteran who has been an ambassador for the Swiss brand for the past 10 years, and Taiwanese model and actress Chi Ling Lin, a Longines ambassador since 2005.

During the event, the trio of ambassadors sported new steel and gold timepieces from Longines' "DolceVita" collection, and guests tuned in to watch the inaugural showing of a new publicity film, la Dolce Vita, featuring Winslet, Bachchan and Lin in a contemporary interpretation of "the Italian way of life." Inspired by the hustle and bustle of the Eternal City's Via Veneto, the film aims to capture the atmosphere of the streets of Rome through the natural elegance of its brand ambassadors, Longines said in the release.
