Harry Winston's "HW Avenue Collection" introduces a timepiece in delicate cherry blossom colors

Jun 20, 2022
This timepiece from the Harry Winston Avenue Collection showcases delicate colors reminiscent of cherry blossoms. The elegantly radiant snow-setting dial evokes the image of cherry blossoms in full bloom, blooming beautifully and then fleetingly falling. The case features a motif inspired by the entrance arch of the Harry Winston flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York, evocative of the brand's history and sophistication.

The cherry blossom, which colors spring, has long been cherished by the Japanese. Its pale pink heralds the arrival of a season of new life. A symbol of rebirth, the cherry blossom's fleeting falling petals speak to the importance of embracing life through its beauty. Founder Harry Winston, who admired the beauty of nature, captured its vibrant vitality in his high jewelry creations. This model, created in homage to his love of nature, embodies one of the world's most beautiful scenes on its dial.

Cherry blossoms in full bloom on your wrist
This model, the first in the HW Avenue Collection, features a snow-setting dial, set with 108 diamonds, 38 yellow sapphires, and 36 pink sapphires. Their delicate color tones dazzle the dial, reminiscent of cherry blossoms fluttering down from the sky. Snow-setting is a technique that expresses the unique beauty of snowflakes that have just fallen from the sky. Unlike traditional setting techniques, which use prongs to set uniformly sized gemstones, the snow setting allows for a seamless arrangement of gemstones of various sizes. The metal is virtually invisible from the surface, allowing the gemstones to radiate their full brilliance. The sapphire crystal is anti-reflective on both sides for even clearer visibility. This elegant timepiece, bearing the name "HARRY WINSTON," will mark the passage of time.

The Sophistication of the Case
The delicate cherry blossom dial is housed in the sleek case of the HW Avenue C Mini. The rectangular case, a hallmark of the HW Avenue collection, named after New York's Fifth Avenue, features a refined design reminiscent of Art Deco. Motifs at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions are reminiscent of the entrance arch of the Harry Winston flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York. The crown is set with a culet-side diamond, a signature detail of Harry Winston timepiece design. 86 sparkling round brilliant-cut diamonds enhance the case's refined silhouette and elegant allure.

This timepiece, limited to 50 pieces each, is presented on a white alligator leather strap with a white or rose gold folding buckle set with six round brilliant-cut diamonds.
