AVENUE C PRECIOUS MARQUETRY H arry Winston was once heard to say ‘People will stare. Make it worth their while.’ And few things could attract more stares than this Art Deco- inspired treasure of a timepiece. The art of marquetry and the opalescent beauty of the mother- of-pearl backdrop are what make this watch uniquely spectacular. A luminous array of freshwater, Tahitian, solid pink, white and beaded mother-of-pearl are cut out and layered using a marquetry technique, which gives depth and dimension to the dial. The cut-outs appear in a variety of subtle geometric shapes, with a multi-coloured scalloped pattern the most prominent; it’s evocative of the Chrysler Building, the Art Deco architectural masterpiece in Harry Winston’s beloved New York City. Set in a white gold case lined with brilliant diamonds, it’s a stunning work of art in true Harry Winston style.
