About the Watches
The Conquest Classic line is a tribute to the chronographs produced by Longines as early as 1881 for race-goers and jockeys in New York. This collection of models, all fitted with self-winding calibers, is both contemporary and perfectly timeless, representing the brands’ rich tradition and watch-making expertise.
Conquest Classic is available in three sizes. The ladies’ models have a diameter of 29.50 mm with a black, mother-of-pearl or silvered dial and are available in steel, rose gold or a combination of steel and rose gold. A second model with hours, minutes and date is available with a diameter of 40.00 mm, fitted on black alligator straps or steel or steel and rose gold bracelets, each to match the dial. At 41 mm, the chronographs are fitted with an L688 column-wheel movement exclusively developed for Longines. The case is either in steel, steel and rose gold or rose gold alone with a silvered or black dial.
LONGINES
Longines has been based at Saint-Imier, Switzerland, since 1832. It has generations of experience as the official timekeeper at world championships and as a partner of international sports federations. Longines is a member of The Swatch Group S.A., the world’s leading manufacturer of horological products. With an excellent reputation for creating refined timepieces, the brand, whose emblem is the winged hourglass, has outlets in over 140 countries.
In support of three independent Baltimore boutiques’ efforts to rebuild post-uprising; Bonneau Caprece llc, MICA and the fashion community of Baltimore proudly present “The Best of Baltimore Fashion Industry Benefit” (B.O.B.B.) featuring 20 of Baltimore’s top designers and fiber artists; as well as make-up artists, hair stylists & photographers.
Fashion lovers everywhere witnessed the glamour, creativity, and art of The Met Gala 2015 or formally known as the Costume Institute Gala. Celebrities showed up wearing intricate designs and show stopping hats while music artists were seen wearing sheer gowns.
This year’s theme was China: Through The Looking Glass which was based upon a document. The annual fundraising event attracted entertainers and fashion industry professionals; purchasing a ticket to support the Metropolitian Museum of Art Costume Institute. Although this night was amazing in it’s own right, there’s always a memorable moment!
My favorite costume of the night goes to the lovely and talented Beyonce. Her dress was show stopping, appropriate according to the theme (loving her high ponytail) and it was detailed couture. My least favorite selection came from Gabrielle Union. Unfortunately, her dress did not exemplify the theme of the event and appeared to be a winter gown. I love Gabby (and hubby) but I’m hoping they will do better next year. She has a fabulous body and would like to have a designer create a gown for her figure.
Honorable mention goes to Blake Lively, Solange Knowles, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian West, and Jennifer Lopez. The ladies listed did it just right and added a special touch of whimsy to the evening!
