Harry Winston Premier Feathers – Artistic Feather Marquetry
The Harry Winston Premier Feathers collection stands as one of the most artistic and imaginative creations ever unveiled at Baselworld. Known for blending haute joaillerie and refined watchmaking, Harry Winston introduces a series that elevates decorative craftsmanship through the extraordinary art of feather marquetry. These limited-edition pieces showcase a unique intersection of natural beauty, diamond artistry, and meticulous handcraft.
Masterful Feather Marquetry by Nelly Saunier
Each dial of the Harry Winston Premier Feathers is crafted by renowned feather artist Nelly Saunier, whose work has been featured in high fashion, haute couture, and luxury jewelry. The feathers come from specially bred peacocks and pheasants, selected only if they possess the ideal balance of luminosity, softness, vibrancy, and texture. Through delicate placement and layering, the feathers create a multidimensional dial that appears almost alive, with colors shifting gracefully under the light.
White Gold Case and Diamond-Set Design
The watch features a stunning 18K white gold 38mm case, though the Premier Feathers collection is also known in a 36mm form. Surrounding the dial is a bezel set with 66 round brilliant-cut diamonds, adding brilliance and sophistication to the feather artistry. The signature arch motif at the upper dial draws inspiration from Neoclassical architecture, a recurring theme in Harry Winston’s design language.
Elegance and Wearability
Despite its luxurious detailing, the Harry Winston Premier Feathers remains comfortable on the wrist thanks to its slim 7.2mm profile. The watch is paired with a silk or leather strap, giving it a lightweight and graceful feel. Combined with the diamonds and feather dial, the overall design radiates femininity, refinement, and high jewelry elegance.
