Harry Winston Just Dropped a Sweet Line of High-Jewelry Watches Inspired by Candy
If you’ve yet to finish your holiday shopping but are feeling extra generous at the last minute, consider Harry Winston’s new collection of high jewelry watches—adorned with brightly hued gems inspired by candy—as a good remedy for your procrastinator’s remorse.
The one-of-a-kind watches are the latest to debut in the Winston Candy collection of unique pieces inspired by the house’s archival sketches from the 1950s and ’60s. Previous pieces in the series included cocktail rings and earrings. Now, some wrist candy has arrived to complete the set. Featuring fancy-colored stones for dials surrounded by diamonds and vibrant matching gems, each rock was selected for its superior quality. Mandarin garnets, rare tourmalines, pastel sapphires and rich spinels in fancy shapes complemented by round-brilliant diamonds were arranged by a team of experts that worked for more than one year to curate the jewels and craft each piece.
