Can’t go wrong with Harry Winston watches.
The jeweler Harry Winston once said that if he could, he would set diamonds directly onto a woman’s skin. It isn’t surprising then that when Harry Winston introduced its first timepieces in 1989, the company’s approach to women’s watches was, according to Beatrice de Quervain, global marketing director, to create “jewelry that tells time.” The watches the brand made for men were a different story. Harry Winston endowed its men’s collections with innovative technical features that quickly gained recognition among male collectors. Its secret was collaboration with some of the top watchmaking talents in the Geneva area, like Jean-Marc Widderecht. In 2001, Harry Winston formalized this arrangement in the highly successful Opus project, building its first two Opus watches with François-Paul Journe and Antoine Preziuso, respectively, two of the most celebrated watchmakers in the city. – From Robb Report
