This seventh Valentine's Day model features balloons, a symbol of blessing. Colorful balloons are bundled together like a vibrant bouquet to represent various forms of love and romantic scenes.

Balloon Bouquet
Since 2016, Harry Winston has been releasing special timepieces depicting true love as Valentine's Day limited edition models. The seventh edition, the 2022 model, features an 18K white gold case from the Premiere Collection, marking the second Valentine's Day model. The dial depicts the most romantic day of the year. Balloons, a symbol of celebration, soar into the sky, always adorning life's happiest moments. Harry Winston has evoked the romantic image of love by arranging colorful balloons like a vibrant bouquet.

Joyful Colors Depicting Love
The dial beautifully combines semi-precious mother-of-pearl and precious stones. This technique, a specialty of Harry Winston, is once again employed on this model. The colorful balloons on the dial float in a mystical mother-of-pearl sky, like the power of love that inspires warm feelings and a variety of emotions. The heart-shaped balloons, rendered in a color palette evoking love and romance, are adorned with 30 round brilliant-cut rubies, 26 powder pink sapphires, 24 diamonds, and mother-of-pearl cabochons. To enhance the vibrant look, the gemstones of various sizes are arranged in a grain setting. This technique, in which the stones are held in place with delicate, bead-like prongs, evokes the shimmering vibrations of love.

The allure of mother-of-pearl lies in its iridescent brilliance, which changes with the light. The heart motif, featuring red, pink, and white cabochons, exudes volume and adds dimension to the dial. The different textures, sparkles, and colors of the gemstones and mother-of-pearl depict the various facets of love. The 20 heart-shaped balloons are strung together with twisted gold thread, representing the strong bonds forged by love. Furthermore, each balloon is firmly bound together by two rubies as a symbol of eternal, deep love.

At the 12 o'clock position, an emerald-cut diamond, said to be founder Harry Winston's favorite, is set. The emerald cut is the symbol of Harry Winston, known as the "King of Diamonds," and is also the Maison's signature. Its serene brilliance reflects the pride of a brand that always strives to create only the finest pieces.

Elegant Case Design
The first model of the HW Premiere Collection, the brand's first timepiece collection, was released in 1989. This collection, which incorporates the arch of the New York Fifth Avenue flagship store into its case design, continues to portray the brand's timeless appeal. Diamonds have always been the focal point of the HW Premiere Collection. The "HW Premier Valentines Flying Heart Automatic 36mm" also features an 18K white gold case adorned with the exquisite brilliance of 57 round brilliant-cut diamonds.

Meticulous Movement
The hour and minute hands pierce the central balloon, and the high-quality mechanical automatic movement ensures precise timekeeping. The movement's movement and finish can be admired through the see-through sapphire crystal case back. The movement uses a silicon flat balance spring for high precision. It beats at 4 Hz and has a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. The 18K rose gold rotor is skeletonized, and its finishes, such as circular Côtes de Genève and circular graining, demonstrate the brand's aesthetic sense, which is evident in every detail.

The "HW Premiere Valentine's Flying Hearts Automatic 36mm" is a limited edition of 14 pieces worldwide.
