A uniquely versatile timepiece, Ultimate Emerald Signature first appeared in 2014 and can also be worn as a brooch and a pendant.

EMBODYING STRENGTH AND sophistication in equal measure, the emerald cut is known to be a firm favourite of the American jeweller Harry Winston. Across all gemstone shapes it was his preferred cut from the moment he started the business. He was such an admirer of this classical gemstone cut that he insisted the gold-trimmed window displays of the company’s Fifth Avenue boutique emulated the elongated rectangular shape with bevelled edges. The Harry Winston logo, too, evokes the simple but elegant lines of an emerald-cut stone.

It’s a fascination and an obsession that continues to inspire the House to this day, providing a unique canvas on which some of the most spectacular time and jewellery pieces could be created.

As a homage to this unique design identity, Harry Winston’s latest high jewellery timepieces have bridged its founder’s love for the emerald cut with its modern-day watchmaking savoir-faire. Ultimate Emerald Signature by Harry Winston combines the jeweller-watchmaker’s two specialities in one mesmerising creation, with a surprise or two hidden from unsuspecting eyes.

Covered entirely with precious stones, this red carpet-worthy timepiece captures the magnificence of Harry Winston’s high jewellery universe, reflecting the kind of megawatt glamour you’d expect to see at the Oscars, Cannes or the Met Gala. After all, in addition to being the King of Diamonds, Mr Harry Winston was also known as the Jeweller to the Stars, appearing both on the red carpet as well as in the movies.
