Collections that defy time
We can recognize a big House for its ability to create a «classic», a collection that defies time by drawing its own destiny. The collection «Harry Winston Midnight» is one of those. Harry Winston also liked women. For them, he went to the conquest of the most extraordinary gemstones. This original mark continues today in the watch collections of the House, as if Harry Winston himself continued to read in the heart of women. The House has created an extraordinary way to make their hearts melt with new pieces from the collection «Midnight Diamond Stalactites», who give their elegant lines to an amazing stalactites diamond pattern. Incarnation of a confessed desire, Premier Chronograph 40mm, «The Premier Collection» joins the pleasure of jewelry tradition and creative virtuosity in subtle decorations. While Z9 Project, «The Ocean Collection» is dedicated to the most prestigious complications in a typical sporty background, a highly technical component of the House, the chronograph is designed in a high-tech spirit. Let the magic begin!
