Model and actress Lin Chi Ling is the Longines Ambassador of Elegance.

The porcelain-faced beauty with the megawatt smile has enjoyed a meteoric rise to stardom. She was already a top model when she started her TV hosting and movie career.

Raised in a tight-knit family, Chi Ling left Taiwan when she was 15 and obtained her double major degree from Toronto University. Her silver screen debut in , by acclaimed director John Woo, won her recognition for her on screen efforts and a nomination for the best new performer at the renowned Hong Kong Film Awards.

Incredibly hardworking, versatile, and well rounded as she is, it will not be hard to imagine her as the next big thing to hit the international scene. The three beautiful actresses of different cultures and backgrounds, Kate Winslet, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Lin Chi-ling have come together to make worldwide headlines and churn out a captivation campaign for Longines DolceVita Collection. Through this collaboration, Chiling, a rising star of the East will continue to shine and pave her way to international success.

Effectively multilingual, having able to speak English, Chinese, Cantonese and Japanese, Chi ling is not one to rest on her laurels. She is always ready to take on new challenges, be it a Japanese TV love drama, “Moon Lovers”, starring opposite Mr. Kimura Takuya or a country girl with unkempt short hair with yellow teeth in her third Chinese comedy film, “Welcome to Shama Town”.

Like Longines, Chi Ling is known for her warm and charitable nature, and has selflessly devoted herself to charitable causes such as World Vision Aids Orphan Hope Project, the earthquake relief efforts for the ravaged areas of China and continues to participate in many charitable causes over the years.

With a serving heart she has made it a point to always look for ways to inspire hope, a smile, and to spread her belief that “how wonderful life is when we are able to give, to love and to share”.
