The Winston Kaleidoscope High Jewelry
Watch here is one of Harry Winston’s four new
high jewellery timepieces that give physical
form to the dazzling patterns produced by a
kaleidoscope. Its platinum case holds a dial fully
paved with diamonds, save for the appliqué
brand signature at 12 o’clock rendered in white
gold. From this white centre extends a burst
of colour as Brazilian Paraiba tourmalines,
diamonds, pink sapphires, tsavorites and blue
sapphires are set to form a regular, 10‑sided
motif. This cluster‑like arrangement was a
favourite of the brand’s eponymous founder, and
when coupled with the colourful precious stones
in brilliant, pear and marquise cuts, result in a
sophisticated play of volume and colour.
