THINK HARRY WINSTON and what instantly comes to mind is one thing and one thing only: diamonds. Perfect, flawless, sparkling, dazzling diamonds. Which is fine and completely natural, given the American jeweller's rightfully deserved reputation as the King of Diamonds. But nomenclature aside, Harry Winston's decadeslong savoir faire extends far beyond jewellery and legendary diamonds. Indeed, fine timepieces have been integral to its story since 1989, marrying the house's gemstone and goldsmithing expertise with the best of Swiss traditional haute horlogerie.
Among its most distinctive horological creations, the versatile Ocean collection stands out for its dynamic juxtaposition of sporty elegance and technical mastery.
Blending an athletic spirit with the classic tenets of modern luxury, the Ocean timepieces appeal to the contemporary urbanite who revels in pursuing an active lifestyle without compromising on style and sophistication. Its introduction in the late 1990s meant that the collection arrived at that fortuitous moment, just before the turn of the century, when luxury mechanical timepieces officially made their glorious return from the shadows of the 1970s quartz crisis.
No longer perceived as a pure timekeeper, but rather an object of watchmaking art - and an extension of one's lifestyle and personality watches of the 1990s such as Harry Winston's Ocean collection have a distinctive quality that play directly to our emotional side.
