His business was already 20 years old and his name was world famous when Harry Winston, nicknamed “The King of Diamonds”, hired the Indian jeweller and designer Ambaji Venkateshwara Shinde as head of design in 1962. He brought his signature creativity and Eastern touch to Winston jewellery including three pieces which have inspired the New York brand’s watchmakers 50 years on. The sparkling gold enamelled dial on this limited edition Premier (50 available) features a gold twisted thread whose loops form oval shapes. Some of them are paved with 3 marquise-cut diamonds reminiscent of a tiara. Two dauphine-shape hour and minute hands burst from the dazzling piece brought to life by the HW2008 calibre. The self-winding movement lies in the 36mm rose gold case paved with 57 brilliant-cut diamonds. Price upon request
