Backgrounder
The house of Harry Winston owes its fortunes to the astute business sense of Harry Winston and to his unusual relationship to diamonds where he could foresee the potential of gemstones. It is balanced and thorough elegance that made - and still makes today - Harry Winston diamonds special.
For more than five decades, Harry Winston was the purveyor of some of the most wonderful gems and most fabulous jewellery created and he set a trend among designers and brands everywhere by lending his creations to movie stars who wanted to shine while descending the red carpet. Since then, the House of Harry Winston has loaned its most prized jewellery and watches to countless A-List celebrities on the red carpet.
Harry Winston, the man, carried all the traits that make a great jeweller: knowledge, perseverance, intuition and most importantly, an innate and genuine love of gemstones. He was a rare individual who left behind a legacy of brilliant, timeless beauty.
Loyal to his father's credo of "only the exceptional," Ronald Winston created two distinct lines and a concept was born: "Rare Movements and Rare Diamonds". "Rare Movements", men's models featuring technical complications, including a certain number of world firsts in keeping with the finest Swiss high-end traditions, and "Rare Diamonds", delicately hand-set women's jewellery watches testifying to the more than century-old know-how cultivated at Harry Winston.
The Harry Winston name continues to be known as one of the most distinguished brand icons in the world.
