Harry Winston Creates New Timepieces

A Look Dropped into the Past

Harry Winston has marked the beginning of 2007 by developing new versions of watches being part of the brand's Premier and Avenue collections.

The 1989 Premier timepiece was developed to feature distinctive masculine identity and offered a new way of time-telling - the retrograde indicator. The watch possessed 'Excenter' dial that represented one more watch-making challenge.

As for the first Harry Winston ladies' watch, the original Avenue would remind you the bright lights on the streets of Manhattan. The timepiece was created in luxury style making it suitable to be worn on some solemn event. The brand's name 'Harry Winston' was composed of diamonds.

The appearance of Harry Winston Premier and Avenue watches marked the beginning of a new stage of the horology art when time became even more precious. Their style corresponded to the high speeds of the 1990-s, while their refinement hinted at the past Jazz Age.

The new Excenter Perpetual and Avenue watches inherited the major characteristics of their forerunners while offering some innovative features.

The upgraded version features innovative retrograde mechanisms responsible for operating the date and month functions. To set the date and month, the watch's owner has just to unscrew the button placed at 8 o’clock and then press it down. The crown is used for setting the time of the second time zone that is indicated by a yellow hand placed in the off-centered hour and minute sub-dial.
