You may have noticed a certain Academy Award winner on the cover of this issue of Jewellery Business. From the moment Kate Winslet tipped her wide-brimmed hat upward in Titanic and revealed her character, Rose DeWitt Bukater, she’s remained one of Hollywood’s most celebrated leading ladies. With a slew of awards, including an Oscar and three Golden Globes, Winslet is an unstoppable force on the silver screen, as well as a celebrity endorser. In 2010, Longines named her one of its brand ambassadors. Jewellery Business caught up with the Hollywood headliner for an exclusive look at her work with the Swiss brand and why her first watch ever holds such special meaning.
