Harry Winston’s Premier Precious Butterfly Automatic 36mm timepieces from its Premier collection combines horology and feather art using a highly original technique that took three years to develop.
The vibrant colours adorning the timepieces are created using the fragile, yet extraordinarily iridescent, powder found on butterfly wings.
Harry Winston designers successfully harvested and expertly placed this delicate powder on each of its dials, a technique that required three years of creative reflection and development.
This powder is the only material used to create the unique motif and allows for a rare and mesmerising visual experience.
With each of the four models in the collection, the pigments create a fascinating kaleidoscope of colours as they recreate butterfly wings.
The dials catch and hold light just like the wings of a butterfly found in nature and the sapphire crystal seems to be the only thing keeping the butterfly inside the gold case, set with 57 brilliant-cut diamonds.
The timepieces are driven by a mechanical automatic movement equipped with a silicon balance spring ensuring excellent precision. The movement finishes – circular Côtes de Genève, rhodium plating and circular graining – speak to the attention to detail cherished by the house.
Two of the model’s cases are in white gold and two in rose gold.
The Premier Precious Butterfly Automatic 36mm was nominated in the 2105 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), the watch industry’s equivalent of the Oscars, in the Métiers d'Art category.
The watches are priced from $41,500, and available at Harry Winston stores.
