Baselworld 2014: Premier Lady Chronograph
Harry Winston loved women. In his eagerness to please them, he set out to adorn them with the most extraordinary precious stones. This original mindset is still embedded in the Harry Winston timepiece collections – as if the founder himself were still reading women’s hearts and fulfilling their wishes.
The Premier Lady Chronograph expresses the House’s jewelry tradition and creative virtuosity through subtle decorative motifs. Stemming from the House’s first timepiece collection, which launched in 1989, the Premier is the perfect blend of seduction and femininity. In its newest version, the House has preserved the same style codes of the iconic design, while giving free rein to its creative instincts. Let the magic begin.
The volume of the rose gold case has been slimmed down to create a more elegant profile, while the 40 mm diameter gives this chronograph a defined presence on the wrist. The attachments, which recall the neo-classical arch defining the façade of Harry Winston’s historic Fifth Avenue Salon, have been redesigned for a smoother finish. Generous diamonds of the finest quality are delicately handset, recalling the House’s iconic diamond creations. The crown is shaped like an exquisitely faceted gem, proudly celebrating Harry Winston’s fine-jewelry heritage.
The stunning brown Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial radiates a seductive smoky effect, hovering between shades of warm brown and couture grey. The diamond-set appliques and indexes, ornate decoration, and the striking asymmetry of the various dials, combine to create a stunning visual rhythm on the dial.
Powered by a quartz movement, this chronograph has 12-hour and 30-minute counters, as well as small seconds at 6 o’clock. A shiny taupe alligator strap provides the perfect finishing touch, further enhancing the refinement and harmony of the design.
Wish granted. Mr. Winston’s passion still guides our creative vision.
