Harry Winston unveils the latest iteration of its successful Midnight Diamond Drops timepiece. This time, the spectacular diamond-stud watch adorned with a wintery scene on the dial, arrives in a special Chocolate version, housed in a luxurious rose gold case with a dial made from rare chocolate mother-of-pearl.
Same as its famous predecessor, the Harry Winston Midnight Chocolate Diamond Drops reveals the nature-inspired decorative motif, evoking a captivating snowfall. Made using Mr. Winston’s signature clustering technique, the frosty scene on the dial includes no less than 214 brilliant-cut diamonds in varying sizes. The gem-setters of the House have employed the art of snow-setting by choosing stones of different diameters and carefully setting them side by side. In this way, the appearance of metal settings is almost nonexistent, so each stone can shine with the supreme brilliance.

The dial is decorated with natural mother-of-pearl, an extremely fragile material that must be handled with the utmost precision. The dial-makers of the House have used all of their skills to slice nacre into wafer-thin silvers and perforate it for gem-setting. They have chosen a rare, chocolate-gold mother-of-pearl, which blends beautifully with the 18-karat rose gold case and frosty white diamonds.
In addition to centrally-positioned hours and minutes hands, the dial also reveals a charming moon phase complication and a small round aperture which serves as a date indicator. Harry Winston’s 18-karat gold emerald-cut logo appears at 12 o’clock position, while a diamond accented hour marker at 9 o’clock provides a nice visual balance.
The Midnight Chocolate Diamond Drops timepiece is housed in the line’s emblematic round case measuring 39mm in diameter. A swarm of 91 brilliant-cut diamonds adorns the bezel and lugs, while three larger diamonds set near the crown evoke the architecture of the iconic arched doorway of Harry Winston’s flagship boutique in New York. A reliable Swiss quartz movement animates the functions of the watch, while a pearly brown alligator leather strap keeps it secured to the wrist. - harrywinston.com
