HARRY WINSTON, synonymous with exquisite jewellery and timepieces, has been captivating the world with its unparalleled craftsmanship for over a century. Established in 1932 and named for America’s “King of Diamonds”, the brand quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional taste, meticulous attention to detail, and innovative designs.

Harry Winston’s iconic pieces have adorned the wrists of royalty, celebrities, and discerning collectors alike, solidifying the brand’s status as a symbol of luxury and prestige. There’s no better example of this than Marilyn Monroe’s reference to the brand in the song Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend from 1953’s Gentlemen Prefer Blondes when she said, “Talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it”.

While best known for exquisite diamonds, Harry Winston’s timepieces have carved out their distinctive niche, combining artistry and horological mastery as they stand shoulderto-shoulder with even the great Swiss maisons. Its foundation as a leading jeweller plays a significant role in distinguishing its watches. In contrast to other luxury watch brands, Harry Winston incorporates its diamond and precious stone expertise into its timepieces. The signature use of flawless, high-quality diamonds and gemstones makes its watches stand out in their elegance and brilliance. As with its iconic diamond creations, each is a horological masterpiece as well as a piece of fine jewellery.

With its Ocean Collection of watches, the brand seamlessly blends high mechanical craftsmanship with the allure of high jewellery, resulting in sophisticated, contemporary designs that are at once visually captivating and technically impressive. The collection is also the brand’s most versatile, offering sporty options such as the Ocean Zalium and the extravagant Ocean Date Moon Phase Limited Edition.
