The Low Down

Mr. Harry Winston once exclaimed, “Jewels are more than my love and my life; they are an insatiable obsession.” Mr. Winston’s enduring passion for precious gems was a constant throughout his life and served as the guiding light for all of his endeavors.

Centering the jewels, and focusing on the feeling, Winston attempts to capture love in their unique new collection. Chronicling each phase of love itself, Winston is releasing an iconic line of watches as part of their larger release of jewels in the form of earrings, necklaces, and pendants.

Each watch in the collection embodies a jewelry like vibrancy and luxury. Utilizing the House’s distinct Midnight watch design, this line of timepieces has been decadently reimagined in 18-karat white gold and mother-of-pearl dials adorned with “L.O.V.E” lettering. Each watch also has an alligator strap and a design that incorporates a phase of love utilizing bold coloring and eye-catching design.

The phases are broken down by letters, “L, O, V, E”, each standing for a different chapter, a different intensity of feeling that Winston is attempting to capture and express. ‘L’ stands for ‘Winston Light.’ This chapter and this watch is full of brightness and vibrancy, the exciting start of something new. The ‘Winston Light’ timepiece has a bold yellow face and strap to match. ‘O’ stands for ‘Winston Obsession.’ The obsession chapter symbolizes burning and intensity, and the ‘Winston Obsession’ timepiece has a deep red face and strap to convey the feelings of passion. ‘V’ stands for ‘Winston Vow,” a chapter about giving oneself away. Utilizing a tasteful orange on the strap and face, the ‘Winston Vow’ timepiece is about bold commitments, and bold looks. Finally, the ‘E’ stands for ‘Winston Eternity.’ This chapter evokes a timeless look and uses purple on the strap and face to create a memorable watch that can last forever.

On top of all these unique new pieces, Winston is also releasing fifty limited-edition watches with a white alligator and mother-of-pearl dial encrusted with vibrant gemstones — yellow sapphires, amethysts, rubies, and spessartite.

IMHO

Harry Winston is releasing a visually striking line of watches with their ‘Midnight Winston with Love’ collection. Each piece is bold and utilizes color in a way not many watches can pull off. The dial and straps are unique, and if you’re a fan of bold color, they should fit strikingly into your wardrobe. To me, the most intriguing of the bunch is actually the limited-edition piece, utilizing subtle bits of color in the form of gemstones. This watch is decadent, but still elegant and desirable. It could make an unforgettable gift, or an unforgettable statement.

The new Harry Winston Midnight timepieces are the ideal accessory to express the intensity and varied sentiments of an emotion.
