“I love throwing parties,” she enthuses, explaining that, for her, a theme is nonnegotiable – “there’s less stress about what you look like” – and no detail is spared (to the point where it’s become a bit of a thing with her husband, Dylan Sprouse). “Dylan and I have a rule: he doesn’t ask me how much money I’m spending on decorations and I don’t ask him how much he spends on video games.”

But Palvin didn’t grow up a 365 party girl. Raised in Budapest, her parents set a strict curfew of 9pm. “I’m actually very grateful to them for that,” she reasons. “Of course, when you’re a teenager you want to party and go out and all that. But because I didn’t have that distraction, I really did focus on what I was doing. I knew what I wanted to do in the future. I knew where I was going.”

With close to 20 years’ experience of her own, the 31-year-old has earned the right to be highly selective with the work she takes on, partnering only with brands that align with her values. In the case of Longines, “I feel like I joined a family,” she explains. Shooting the Conquest campaign in Budapest, “I was able to show them where I grew up and share a little bit of my culture. It’s like they adopted me and now we can create together, bringing our values and ourselves into our project.” Right now, that project is the Conquest range, and Palvin is expectedly passionate (as all good ambassadors should be). “I’m rocking it every day. Everyone around me is constantly trying to steal it,” she says of her preferred model, in a shade called Sunray Blue. She begins musing on the benefits of that particular shade – a perfect match for her eyes, in fact – and all the ways it has seamlessly fit into her existing wardrobe. And then her Conquest watch in Sunray Blue strikes 10.30, and just like every good party, our time comes to an end.
