Harry Winston Midnight brings the charm of midnight sky to the wrists.
Imagine a collection of diamonds and gemstones... A collection that is regarded as the second most spectacular collection in the world. Let us remind you that the first one belongs to the British Royal Family. Winston, who has gained customers from all over the world with its jewelry designs, is also known for his close relationships with royal families, statesmen and Hollywood stars.
Harry Winston Midnight Retrograde Second Automatic 39mm’s design is inspired by Winston’s hair accessories designed for this special clientele. The diamond at 12 o’clock is designed larger than the others, while seven diamonds placed at the 6 o’clock position to form a crown silhouette in the 30-second retrograde section. In fact, this complication is devoted to the Ocean collection providing a continuous movement in the dial as the small second’s hand moves counterclockwise to return to its starting point.
When you look at the blue dial, you feel like you’re watching a clear sky on an abundant starry night. Some stars appear closer and larger, while others resemble particles of distant light. This gives the user a sense of depth. Of course, the brightest, emerald cut star (diamond) in the dial represents the Harry Winston brand. The markers in the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock position using three diamonds in a row, while 18K white gold is used for the other markers.
Harry Winston Midnight Retrograde Second Automatic (Ref. MIDARS39WW001) comes in a 39mm, 18K white gold case. With 91 diamonds, the bezel and lugs almost surpass the beauty of the dial. The three big diamonds placed on the belt next to the winding crown tributes to the famous arched entrance of the brand’s flagship boutique in New York.
Utmost care for the slightest detail, a common feature of Harry Winston’s designs, is also reflected in the watch’s automatic movement Caliber HW2101. The movement, which is enjoyed through the sapphire crystal case back with all its glory as well as its perforated 22K solid gold oscillating rotor, offers a power reserve of 65 hours when fully wound.
