She might not have been advertising a watch that specializes in time travel, but Kate Winslet looked like she had rolled back the years while filming a TV commercial in Rome.

Kate is the new face, and wrist, for Swiss watch brand Longines and looked youthful and radiant in a little black dress during the shoot.

The Hollywood star was sultry with beach-chic blonde tresses and smouldering make-up that made her appear much younger than her 34 years.

She was filming the advert in Italy with Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Taiwanese model and actress Lin Chi-ling, who is also the official spokesperson for China Airlines.

Aishwarya, 36, who is an Indian actress and former Miss World, also stunned in a little black dress for the ad.

Kate and Aishwarya ran in their heels into a black car during filming, while Lin Chi-ling jetted off in a vintage red Alfa Romeo.

Oscar-winning Kate is the latest famous face to represent Longines, alongside past models for the brand such as Stefanie Graf and Andre Agassi.

Actress Kate Winslet and director Sam Mendes are attempting to save their marriage with a romantic summer break, according to a U.K. report.

The stars made headlines when they announced in March (10) that their seven-year marriage had come to an end earlier this year.

The split seemed to be amicable — both of them stepped out together for a family day out with their six-year-old son Joe and Mia Honey, Winslet’s nine-year-old daughter from her first marriage to Jim Threapleton, just weeks after the news was announced.

And the former couple is reportedly planning to take time out of the spotlight to head to their Gloucestershire, England manor house to work on their relationship — in the hope they can find “the spark” in their romance again.

A source tells Britain’s Sunday Express, “Sam hasn’t any film commitments at the moment so they are going to stay at the house with the children this summer and see if they can reignite their spark.

“Sam has always been able to walk away from girlfriends before but now there are children involved he wants to see if he can work it out with Kate.”

The Titanic star was spotted with her children Mia and Joe taking the big bag of coins to a New York bank to change into notes.

Kate Winslet has shown that even Oscar-winning stars count their pennies as she was spotted cashing in $75 in loose change.

The Titanic star was spotted with her children Mia and Joe taking the big bag of coins to a New York bank to change into notes.

Winslet, who recently split from husband Sam Mendes, then got flustered when the bank told her she could not convert the coins because she did not have an account there — leading a Good Samaritan behind her to help.

After converting the coins, Winslet removed her sunglasses — and only then did her helper realize who she was.

“Oh my — are you Kate Winslet?!” he stammered, to the amusement of onlookers at the Chase bank.

Winslet laughed and nodded, and later was overheard telling the chivalrous Samaritan that her kids were about to spend the day with the baby-sitter while she headed to work shooting her new miniseries Mildred Pierce.
