Henry Cavill on Model and the Longines Master Collection

Amid the chaos of New York Fashion Week, on the nook of White Street and Broadway, up three flights of stairs, I found Quarters—a Nineteenth-century Tribeca loft transformed right into a sultry concept-and-furniture retailer that serves a crisp white Negroni. There, on an Adriano Piazzesi couch, sat Henry Cavill, Longines’s ambassador of magnificence. Exceeding expectations, the British actor wore a double-breasted pinstripe blazer, wide-leg ivory trousers, and the Longines Chrono Monopusher to ring within the launch of the Swiss watchmaker’s Master Collection.

Before the night’s celebrations started—a panel with Cavill moderated by Esquire‘s Madison Vain, an on-site Longines watchmaker, and a who’s who of the watch globe—I spoke with the Man of Steel actor about every little thing from his partnership with the luxurious watch model to his private fashion, be it choosing a wristwatch or touchdown on an airport outfit.

Much just like the Master Collection itself—which was first launched over 20 years in the past and now options new three-hand fashions, moonphase chronographs, and a monopusher chronograph (a primary for the gathering)—Cavill drew on Longines’s lengthy historical past of magnificence and craftsmanship, revealing his affection for classic timepieces. “I’ve an inclination towards extra classic heritage items. My favourite Longines, earlier than this assortment even got here out, was the rose gold Master Collection GMT. It’s a fully beautiful watch, so when [the new Longines Master Collection] got here out, that is the type of factor that I like. It ties into that conventional magnificence of Longines,” Cavill instructed me.
