Harry Winston Facts
King of Diamonds | Throughout its long career, Harry Winston and its brand history have been built through encounters with numerous legendary gemstones. It is said that Harry Winston owns more than one-third of the world's famous gemstones. Even today, the company continues to pass on its glittering stories, valuing its traditions of creativity, rarity and the highest quality. |

A natural aesthetic sense | When Harry Winston was 12 years old, he found a stone worth about 25 cents in a pile of stones at a pawn shop. Captivated by the stone, young Harry began negotiating with the pawnbroker to get a lower price. The owner, not realizing that it was a real stone, was persuaded by Harry's enthusiasm and sold it to him at a discount. However, it was actually a natural stone, a 2-carat emerald. A few days later, it was sold for $800 at the jewelry store his father managed. Even at a young age, his eye for gemstones showed signs of a natural talent. |
JEWELLER TO THE STARS | Harry Winston has been loved by many silver screen stars, including Marilyn Monroe, Shirley Temple, and Elizabeth Taylor. This was a method that was not mainstream for branding at the time, but rather involved providing Harry Winston jewels to stars through costumes, etc., and gradually establishing an image for the brand, leading to the brand gradually becoming known as the "jeweler to the stars." In other words, Harry Winston not only had the aesthetic eye to discern the real thing, but also a talent for business. |
NEW YORK | New York is an essential keyword for Harry Winston. This metropolis, the center of unique spirit and style, emotion and glamour, has been the source of inspiration for the brand since its founding in 1932. Many of the brand's jewelry and timepieces, including the classic "Avenue" series of ladies' watches, are inspired by the sophisticated streets and scenery of New York. |
