Harry Winston’s Ultimate Adornment Piece:

Throughout the ages, the beauty of bird feathers and the idea of flying have never ceased to fascinate us. People have taken to using feathers both in everyday life and in art.

Like the wing of a bird soaring high in the skies above, this sautoir watch looks ethereal and almost weightless. The effect is achieved thanks to a combination of peacock and duck feathers together with a range of variously cut diamonds: 42 round cuts, 16 marquise diamonds and a single pear-shaped diamond are fixed to the solid frame, a design specially developed by Harry Winston himself called “The Cluster”. The overall weight of these wonderfully bright stones amounts to 62 carats; they look gorgeous hanging from the neck as they gently sit on one’s décolletage.
