Harry Winston, founded in 1932 in New York, is renowned for its exquisite jewelry and luxury watches. The brand entered the watchmaking world in 1989, blending high jewelry with horological expertise.

One of its most notable innovations is the Opus series, launched in 2001, where independent watchmakers collaborated to create groundbreaking designs. The Histoire de Tourbillon collection, introduced in 2009, pushed the limits of haute horology with intricate tourbillon movements.

Harry Winston also pioneered the use of Zalium, a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alloy, in high-end watchmaking. In 2013, the Swatch Group acquired the brand, expanding its horological reach.

Today, Harry Winston watches remain a symbol of elegance and technical mastery, blending luxurious aesthetics with avant-garde mechanics, making them a favorite among collectors and connoisseurs worldwide.
