History of Harry Winston Watches
Jewelry companies beginning to produce watches are not a rarity nowadays. For them this is a good way to extend their market. There are a lot of men who want to have not just a watch with accurate mechanisms but something special on their wrist. When a jewelry company decides to enlarge their production due to watch making, it chooses its own way - some company combines both jewelry and watch production, another offers time as an option.
The Harry Winston Company is one of the biggest jewelry companies in the world.
Harry Winston, the "King of Diamonds" established his company in 1932. It's namely he who initiated a revolution within the jewelry industry.
As Harry Winston represents first of all a jewelry company, it began to produce watches only in 1989. They've started with decorating watches with diamonds. Harry Winston is the first company to use diamonds of the same purity as in jewelry for watch production. It made all the other companies raise the bar. Later the company initiated its own cases, bracelets and dials production in Geneva. Now they do not produce on their own just watch hands and mechanisms - these details are specially produced for the Harry Winston Company by Geneva watchmakers.
Harry Winston has counted on the purest diamonds, platinum and Swiss mechanisms. Harry Winston watches are genuine watch "landscape"- beautiful, complicated and very expensive.
Because Harry Winston is first of all a jewelry company both diamonds and exclusive mechanisms are important. Modern women enjoy buying complicated mechanical watches with a great number of diamonds in increasing frequency while men are more interested in innovation models with super complicated mechanisms. Less and less watches just counting out minutes and seconds are in demand.
Tourbillion is one of the most complicated and beautiful watch functions…Nowadays not more than 1000 watches with tourbillion are made. And Harry Winston has 24…
I have no doubt that it's great to have such a precious thing as a genuine brand watch as for instance, Harry Winston watches. But we shouldn't forget the price of these pleasant things. Only very rich people have the possibility to buy them - but what about all the others? Does it mean that they cannot even "touch" their dream? I don't think so because there are replica watches which are of a very good quality but cost "ordinary" price.
I've discovered replica watches for myself several years ago and since then I'm the most devoted their admirer. I think that when a person own an extremely expensive watch, he needs some other things to match his social position, for example, a very expensive car and house, one's own island in the Pacific Ocean, a plane etc.
I'm a simple man with an average income rate but with a desire to have a cool watch. And replica watches are good for me. By the way, I like and when I bought my first replica watch, my wife took it skeptically. But later when she made sure of its quality, she bought a nice watch too. Now we have a collection of replica watches, including Harry Winston replica watches, at home and you know we are pleased with our choice. And we don't need mountains of gold.
