Harry Winston Watches

In 1932, Harry Winston established his company as a purveyor of diamonds and valuable gemstones but it was wasn't until 1989 that the company began to produce Swiss timepieces. The company, which is headquartered in New York City, established a full manufacture in Geneva in 2007, and has produced several lines since, including the Midnight collection, the Ocean family, and the Talk to Me Harry Winston line. The company offers several high jewelry timepieces, including the 2012 Ultimate Adornment Timepiece, the convertible Rosebud, and the Harry Winston Signature 7. Harry Winston also partnered with several independent watchmakers to produce the Opus series beginning in 2001, a collection of 13 revolutionary designs from names like Ludovic Ballouard, Emmanuel Bouchet, and Denis Giguet. In 2004, the company introduced the industry to the use of Zalium, a material used in rocket engines and more commonly found on the moon than the Earth. In 2011, the company was inducted into the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, and in January 2013, the timepiece division was sold to the Swatch Group, a sale that included the brand, everything relating their jewelry and watches, the company's 535 employees, and their Geneva manufacture.
