In 1989 Harry Winston released its first timepieces, known as The Premier Collection. Today The Premier Collection is an iconic signature of the brand. This year’s Shinde Automatic 36 mm is a graceful addition to the collection.

For nearly four decades Ambaji V. Shinde created some of Harry Winston’s most memorable jewelry in which he incorporated classical Indian designs with contemporary motifs. With Grand Few enamel, gold spangles and delicate cannetille work that uses fine gold wires, the new Shinde timepieces reinterprets these classic creations. A glossy black alligator strap completes the piece. The Shinde Automatic is limited to 50 pieces per design. Prices are available on request.
