Harry Winston Debuts New Avenue Classic Cherry Blossom Timepiece, Inspired by the Beauty of the Japanese Cherry Blossom, Ahead of Baselworld 2017

Harry Winston has set our hearts aflutter with their latest creation inspired by the natural beauty of the Japanese cherry blossom: the Avenue Classic Cherry Blossom.
The blooming of the sakura cherry blossom tree is a cherished cultural event in Japan. Every year, people gather at the base of cherry trees to hold hanami, or a flower-viewing festivals, when the beloved pink and white flowers bloom. The brief blooming of the cherry blossom flowers represent the coming of spring, or new beginnings, and also serve as a reminder of the short but precious time we each have on this earth.

The brand expertly utilizes the natural iridescence of the pale green-blue mother-of-pearl dial to emulate soft clouds gently blowing across the sky. The focal point of the dial, however, are the 39 brilliant-cut white diamonds and 29 brilliant-cut pink sapphires, all of varying size, which are scattered across the dial along white gold “branches” and call to mind the tranquil beauty of the Japanese cherry blossom.

The case of the Avenue Classic Cherry Blossom was inspired by Harry Winston’s flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York. The art-deco styling serves as a stark, and yet also complementary, contrast to the more traditional influence of the dial. Tying it all together is a vibrant blue-green alligator strap which emphasizes the beautiful mother-of-pearl dial. This timepiece, which represents both an enchanting work of art and an exhibition of the excellent watchmaking which Harry Winston has become known for, leaves us anxious and excited to see what they’ll unveil at Baselworld 2017.

Harry Winston Midnight Diamond Stalactites

Posted on February 23, 2016 by Make Technology

Featured Watch of the Day: Harry Winston’s Midnight Diamond Stalactites

Talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it! Today’s featured timepiece is a new one from Harry Winston: the Midnight Diamond Stalactites Automatic. This 36mm ladies timepiece is available in two variations; it is available in white gold on a white satin strap, and in rose gold on a taupe alligator leather strap.

Stalactites are found growing from cave ceilings and are formed over the course of thousands of years as dripping water rich in minerals calcifies. In the image above, stalactites can be seen growing down from the cave ceiling, while stalagmites can be seen growing up from the cave floor.
The Midnight Diamond Stalactites timepieces each feature designs resembling these marvels of nature on the dials. The stalactites on the white gold version (Reference # MIDAHM36WW001) are made of 0.46ct of pink sapphires and 0.17ct of rubies set on a beaded mother-of-pearl dial. The stalactites on the rose gold version (Reference # MIDAHM36RR001) are made of brilliant-cut diamonds set on a Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial.

Each of the Midnight Diamond Stalactites timepieces are equipped with the Harry Winston automatic HW2008 caliber movement which has 28 jewels and 28,800 vibrations per hour. Both versions of this timepiece feature a diamond bezel and diamond lugs, making them even more striking. They each are covered with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and come with an open sapphire crystal case back, so you can see the movement in action. Neither timepiece features a date display, so as not to detract from the gorgeous stalactites design. Both timepieces are water resistant to 3 bar, or approximately 30 meters.
So what do you think? Do you love the stalactites design and appreciate the fact that Harry Winston draws inspiration from nature, or do you think this particular design needs to stay in a cave? Let us know!

Featured Watch: Chanel J12 Blue Jeans

Posted on February 17, 2016 by Make Technology

Chanel Brings Blue Jeans to the Next Level

When you are looking for a timeless ladies timepiece, a brand you absolutely can’t forget to explore is Chanel. Their delicate and feminine Premiere has been a top selling timepiece for decades and is now also offered in an array of modern variations. Still, the classic octagonal Premiere just isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Chanel’s ceramic J12 timepieces, however, are sporty staples that every woman should have in her watch repertoire.
While we mostly see the Chanel J12 in white or black ceramic, often accented by diamonds and touches of gold, we’re falling hard for the J12 Chromatic Blue Jeans Automatic Watch. As the name suggests, the J12 Chromatic Blue Jeans draws inspiration from everyone’s favorite blue denim. Hublot has had much success with a similar design in the past, but their versions are generally much larger and bolder. We’re more likely to associate Chanel with our favorite Little Black Dress, rather than our favorite pair of Levi’s, but after seeing this timepiece, that perception of the brand may change!

chanel_h4338_j12_chromatic_blue_jeans — This unique J12 Chromatic from Chanel draws inspiration from everyone’s favorite blue jeans

Chanel’s J12 Chromatic Blue Jeans timepiece (reference number H4338) has a 38mm titanium ceramic and steel case with a unidirectional rotating bezel. This automatic watch comes with a blue alligator leather strap and an additional blue nylon strap for added versatility. The center dial is blue with a vertical satin finish which mimics the linear pattern of blue denim fabric. The outer dial is a stunning blue circular guilloche pattern with steel Arabic numerals and an angled date display window between the 4 and 5 o’clock positions.

The dial is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. A secure screw down crown allows watch to be water resistant up to 200 meters. As King Jewelers is an authorized Chanel retailer, every Chanel purchase comes with all applicable boxes, paperwork, letter of appraisal for insurance purposes, and a 2 year manufacture warranty. You can learn more about this timepiece and schedule an appointment to see it in person by visiting our website.
