Harry Winston High Jewellry Timepieces

The Ultimate Emerald Signature

The Ultimate Emerald Signature stands as the pinnacle of HARRY WINSTON’s High Jewelry Timepieces, embodying the House’s visionary craftsmanship in a secret watch. Inspired by Mr. Winston’s iconic emerald-cut gemstones and his legacy as the “King of Diamonds,” the original Ultimate Emerald Signature was entirely adorned with diamonds. Now, to mark its tenth anniversary, the House unveils a breathtaking new edition shimmering with diamonds and pink sapphires.

Exquisite Gem-Setting

A masterpiece of high jewelry, the Ultimate Emerald Signature showcases the unparalleled expertise of HARRY WINSTON’s gem-setters. While each edition features a unique gemstone palette, the signature architectural design remains unchanged.

The octagonal 18-karat white gold case, mirroring the step-cut facets of an emerald-cut gem, rises like a pyramid. Each tier is adorned with brilliant-cut or baguette-cut stones, culminating in a 1-carat emerald-cut centerpiece. Surrounding this geometric brilliance, 24 marquise-cut diamonds, carefully angled to capture the light, create a mesmerizing sense of movement. Two emerald-cut diamonds at 12 and 6 o’clock pay tribute to Mr. Winston’s love for exceptional stones.

The Dynasty Collection

As a testament to the “King of Diamonds,” the Ultimate Emerald Signature reigns as a dazzling 10-carat creation, crowned with a 1-carat emerald-cut diamond. Its successors carry this regal legacy forward:

  • Sapphire Ultimate Emerald Signature – A tribute to the legendary Hope Diamond, this edition combines diamonds with light and dark blue sapphires, evoking the brilliance of Mr. Winston’s historic 45.52-carat treasure.
  • Tourmaline Ultimate Emerald Signature – Featuring Paraíba tourmalines, prized for their neon-turquoise glow, this edition presents a striking contrast of diamonds and electrifying blue-green hues.
  • Pink Sapphire Ultimate Emerald Signature – A romantic interpretation, this radiant timepiece features 194 pink sapphires, 137 brilliant-cut diamonds, 24 marquise-cut diamonds, 38 baguette-cut diamonds, and a stunning 1-carat emerald-cut pink sapphire—a vision of gemstone roses in full bloom.

A Legacy of Diamonds and Innovation

Harry Winston’s deep connection to diamonds defined his legacy, earning him the title of “Jeweler to the Stars.” His revolutionary approach to setting gemstones, eliminating excess metal to let the stones shine, became a signature of the House. The emerald cut, one of his favorites, is renowned for its mirror-like reflections and Art Deco elegance—an aesthetic deeply embedded in the HARRY WINSTON identity since its founding in 1932.

Versatile Elegance

Designed for the red carpet and beyond, this secret watch transforms seamlessly to suit any occasion:
Wristwatch – Paired with a satin strap and a white gold buckle set with 29 brilliant-cut diamonds.
Necklace – Suspended from an 18-karat white gold chain adorned with 12 brilliant-cut diamonds.
Brooch – Worn as a striking jeweled accent with its discreet clamp system on the reverse.

An extraordinary fusion of timekeeping and high jewelry, the Ultimate Emerald Signature is a true collector’s piece—where artistry, innovation, and timeless elegance come together.
