Harry Winston WatchesHarry Winston is best known for his intricate and stunning collections of jewels. He is famous for the spectacular cuts of diamonds that he creates. For over a hundred years the House of Harry Winston has glamorized the wrists, necks and fingers of all class of people including royalty and government officials. The brand which began with Harry Winston himself is now maintained by a company still dedicated to the pursuit of excellence. The Harry Winston watches are created under the tagline, “Rare Timepieces”. In 1989 the first collection of Harry Winston watches were launched combining timekeeping excellence with the illustrious quality earned by his jewel collections. Ronald Winston, the son of Harry created two original lines and each year continues to create pieces that well sought after. In addition to the standard lines, each year a watch is released as part of the Opus collection. Each year the Opus watch is created in partnership with a leading horologist in Switzerland. The idea is to create a watch that could not have been created by each independent party by themselves, the combination of skills creating uniqueness in the timepiece. In keeping with his
style, Harry Winston is the provider of the official award for the Taormina
Filmfest held in Sicily, a festival honoring the cinematic industry. The
award is a precious Harry Winston watch and the 2005 winner exclaimed, “I
would rather have this an Oscar”. |
