This watch by Harry Winston combines a lot of the classical symbols for feminine grace in watches: white gold, mother-of-pearl, lace, diamonds, petite size. It has a dial in mother-of-pearl that has been meticulously open-worked so that it takes on a lacy appearance, contrasting against the sunburst black base. The relatively small 31 mm case size makes it a small and graceful timepiece, enhanced by the slim case thickness, 6.7 mm, made possible by the HW5002 quartz movement. The watch has the usual 30 metres water resistance. The strap is in glossy black alligator leather, with a white gold ardillon buckle set with 15 brilliant-cut diamonds.

Mother-of-pearl lace

The layer of mother-of-pearl is very thin: 0.15 mm. In addition to the white-black dial combination, the watch is also available in pink mother-of-pearl on a Tahitian mother-of-pearl base, with glossy taupe alligator leather strap. Jewellery decoration takes the form of 63 brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel and arches. The craftsmanship lavished on this piece is extraordinary, justifying the lavish use of diamonds.
