Only Watch 2013 - Harry Winston
Eager to affirm its commitment to the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy, Harry Winston developped the Only Watch 2013 Midnight Big Date.

The Harry Winston Only Watch 2013 Midnight Big Date is an exclusive one-of-a-kind specially produced for the Only Watch auction that will take place in Monaco, on September 28.

This timepiece embodies the quintessence of watchmaking, imbued with a sense of authenticity and refinement. Topped with a bezel bearing the three iconic arches of the Harry Winston Fifth Avenue salon in New York City, the case is crafted in 18K polished rose gold. Its 42 mm diameter frames a mechanical automatic winding movement composed of 297 parts, with an 18K rose gold skeletonized rotor, circular grained and hand-chamfered, visible through a sapphire-crystal display back.

Endowed with a 72-hour power reserve, the Harry Winston Only Watch 2013 Midnight Big Date features an inherent visual balance. It hosts a black, broad snailed-finish dial, which moves outward like an off-centered ripple. Following Harry Winston’s aesthetic codes, the excentered chapter ring is placed at noon and features a discreet baguette emerald-cut diamond (0.019 ct) at 12 o’clock.

The dial offers the leading role to a large date that takes an uncompromising stand at 6 o’clock. A single brilliant-cut pink diamond (0.005 ct) is perched above the large date, reminding connoisseurs of Mr. Harry Winston’s habit of keeping one his gems in his pocket for the sheer pleasure of rolling it between his fingers.

By supporting research for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, the brand confirms its commitment to childhood and to life in general. The House is indeed involved in specific philanthropic efforts through the Harry Winston Hope Foundation to support education worldwide.

Recognized as the world’s first charity watch auction, this fifth edition of Only Watch will feature 40 of the greatest watch brands. Following an international travelling exhibition of these timepieces in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, New York, and Geneva, the auction will be conducted at the Hotel Hermitage in Monaco, under the leadership of the auction house Antiquorum.
