AMBASSADORS AND LONGINES PERSONALITIES
Kate Winslet, the magnificent Oscar-winning actress, joined the Longines family in 2010.
She is one of the world’s best-known and loved actresses. She built her career on a series of film performances that go against classic stereotypes, creating in each a new character that moves with ease from drama to passionate romance and eccentric individualism. She made her film debut at the age of 17 in the motion picture “Heavenly Creatures” by Peter Jackson, and immediately made an impression. Her first Oscar nomination was for Ang Lee’s “Sense and Sensibility,” but it was her interpretation of Rose in “Titanic” that revealed her to the international public and resulted in her second Oscar nomination. She was then nominated for her roles in “Iris”, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “Little Children”, and achieved recognition by winning the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance as an ex-Nazi in “The Reader” in 2009, before being nominated in 2016 for the film “Steve Jobs”. Her filmography includes many memorable and award-winning movies, among them “Revolutionary Road”, directed by Sam Mendes, and in which she again plays alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, “Finding Neverland” and “Romance & Cigarettes”.
