In a fast-paced world, where every second counts, Karen Lam, CEO of Estetica Group and a mother of three, exemplifies the art of time management. Juggling her professional and personal commitments, Lam has a packed daily schedule that usually starts at 5am – from preparing meals and school drop-offs to strategic business planning and self-care routines. For someone with such a busy lifestyle, finding a timepiece that blends style, functionality, and elegance is essential. Enter the Longines Mini DolceVita – a watch that captures the essence of sophistication, making it a perfect companion for busy women like Lam.
The Mini DolceVita’s design is a testament to Longines' commitment to elegance and versatility. Its compact, rectangular case and refined craftsmanship make it ideal for the modern woman who seeks style without compromising on substance. With the watch’s small form factor, it sits delicately on the wrist, offering a perfect blend of sophistication and practicality – qualities that resonate with Lam’s personal style and approach to life.

Lam’s day-to-day life is an inspiring balancing act. She values the early morning hours for the peace it brings, allowing her to connect with her children before a workout session that keeps her energized for the day. Her role at Estetica Group involves a variety of responsibilities, from overseeing strategic initiatives to engaging with her team to foster personal and professional growth. A leader with a heart, she dedicates afternoons to connecting with her retail staff, underscoring her belief in supporting her team’s development.
For Lam, time is more than just a measure of her day; it’s a privilege. “I used to wish for 30 hours in a day, but I’ve come to realise that time is a privilege not everyone has,” she reflects. Her approach to time management echoes her commitment to relationships, prioritizing time with family, friends, and co-workers. Lam draws inspiration from the famous John F. Kennedy quote, “Time is a tool, not a couch,” focusing on actively utilizing her time, rather than letting it slip away.
Beyond her professional life, Lam also cherishes the importance of family time. Evenings are spent catching up with her family over dinner, and she unwinds at the end of the day with a calming self-care routine. This personal moment serves as her “respite,” allowing her to recharge before another busy day. For someone like Lam, who believes that “sleep is our superpower,” finding moments of rest amidst her packed schedule is invaluable.

Though she maintains a well-balanced lifestyle, Lam wishes for more time to devote to community work. Last year, she took a trip to Cambodia with her youngest child to volunteer, an experience that left a lasting impact. Her dedication to serving others and passing down these values to her children speaks volumes about her character and the depth with which she values her time.
For Lam, the Longines Mini DolceVita is more than just a timepiece; it’s a statement of elegance and empowerment. It reflects her journey of using time wisely, cherishing each moment, and living a life filled with meaning. Just as Lam advises her younger self, “The bad news is time flies; the good news is you’re the pilot.” This timeless sentiment, much like the Mini DolceVita, encourages women everywhere to embrace each second with grace and determination.
