Baselworld 2014: Midnight Diamond Second 39mm and Midnight Moon Phase 39mm

The Harry Winston Midnight collection for ladies is a study in elegance and refinement, with a classic aesthetic that is expressed through its rich ornamentation and diamond details. Its traditional round cases, at 39mm in diameter, are adorned with precious colors in rich gold and champagne hues. 

The generous diameter of the case, allows ample space for true creative expression on the dial, as seen in the seductive charm of two new models. 

Midnight Diamond Second 39mm has a poetic and enchanting style that draws its strength from signature design codes of the House. The rosé champagne dial with a sunray satin-brushed finish offers a refined space for the excentered hours/minutes subdial at 12 o'clock, offering a refined time display. The counter features elegant polished gold indexes and three gem-set indexes, demonstrating the precision details that characterizes the Midnight collection. Continuing from the emerald applique bearing the initials of the House, the eye is captivated by the small seconds at 6 o'clock, which reproduces the iconic silhouette of the Lily Cluster fine jewelry collection. Echoing the graceful shape of flowers in bloom, Lily Cluster pays tribute to the famed cluster setting designed by Harry Winston, which recreates the magic of nature through the brilliance of diamonds. The cluster blossoms as the seconds tick by, shown by three diamonds that pass in turn so that one of them is always visible in the arc. The bezel and lugs are carefully set in the great tradition of the House, ensuring the beauty of each stone is visible without any distraction. Midnight Diamond Second 39mm is the first mechanical small seconds model for ladies in the Midnight collection. The mechanical movement with automatic winding is visible through the open case-back of the watch, which comes on a shiny taupe alligator strap.

Straight out of a dream, the design of the Midnight Moon Phase 39mm tells a poetic tale of a moon that has a secret meeting with the sun. The rosé Champagne dial is decorated with an undulating circular guilloche, its subtle shimmer intensifying the delicate hue. It is accented by three long gem-set applied indexes at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, while at 12 o'clock the gold emerald applique engraved with the initials of the House marks the top of the hour. The graceful composition irresistibly draws the eye to the center of the watch displaying the enchanting moon phase. To recreate the moon and its celestial surroundings, designers selected a polished finish and an interplay of colors and textures. The engraving alternates with a pearlescent glaze that shimmers with various pigments and shades, while a sparkling mix of black and white stars rounds out the composition. Like an extension of the moon phase, the date indicator enjoys a privileged position. Each area is highlighted by a slender circle of diamonds that mirrors the setting of the bezel and the lugs. Midnight Moon Phase 39mm comes on a shiny taupe alligator strap.
