Pure lines create a powerful emotional identity. Harry Winston explores this approach through the “Monochrome” theme, an artistic creation designed as a dramatic climax, a breathing space intended to release an emotion nurtured by rigorous stylistic discipline. 

What finer material could one hope for than slate to embody such a radically novel vision? Traditionally reserved for noble buildings, it continues to symbolize a certain architectural philosophy. With its pure and discreet shades of grey ensure it stands out from all other rocks. Endowed with such a beautiful nature, it naturally finds its way untouched through changing eras. A humble, and yet truly timeless material, it is Harry Winston’s source of inspiration for the Midnight Monochrome collection. 

In order to reproduce the unique structure of slate, the Harry Winston dial-makers developed a new technique far removed from the usual watchmaking finishes, honing it to create a plate with a truly slate-like effect. In addition to its mineral beauty, the dial thus guarantees a degree of longevity entirely in tune with the principles of excellence upheld by the House of Harry Winston.

The sophisticated yet understated metallic grey dial of the men’s model is animated by the hours, minutes and date indications. The silver white shade of the ladies’ model has been treated to a damask effect and makes a perfect match with the diamond-set bezel and lugs and the rose gold case. This 39 mm-diameter model is equipped with a quartz movement. 

The men’s model is equipped with a white gold case with a 42 mm diameter. The mechanical automatic winding movement composed of 191 parts, circular-grained and adorned with Côtes de Genève, is visible through the sapphire crystal display back. It is equipped with two barrels including one with a slipping spring and has a 45-hour power reserve. Midnight Monochrome for men comes on a hand-sewn alligator leather strap with a white gold ardillon buckle. 

Simple, yet sophisticated. Such is the art of transforming time exercised by Harry Winston. The Midnight Monochrome timepieces revisit the expertise of the brand and reveal its quintessence: a personality endowed with a perfect visual balance that lends its inimitable style to a collection that is truly unique in its kind.
