Catalogue Essay

This extraordinary Harry Winston unique piece from the early 2000s captures the essence of haute horlogerie as wearable art. Housed in an elegant curved rectangular case crafted from 18k pink gold, the watch presents a poetic interpretation of time through its stunning depiction of a mythical dragon soaring across stormy skies.

The silvered dial features a masterful gray cloud pattern, hand-engraved to create dynamic movement and depth. At its center, an exquisitely sculpted pink gold dragon appears in mid-flight, its scales and whiskers rendered with astonishing detail. The creature's sinuous form wraps protectively around the off-center time display, where blued steel hands glide over the dial.

Measuring approximately 26mm x 42.5mm, the case wears with vintage-inspired elegance while making a bold artistic statement. The dragon motif - symbolizing power, wisdom and good fortune in Chinese culture - transforms this timepiece into a talismanic object, while the cloud-patterned dial recalls traditional ink wash paintings.

Created as a unique piece during Harry Winston's most creatively ambitious period, this watch represents the pinnacle of jewelry watchmaking - where precious metals become a canvas for storytelling, and timekeeping transcends function to become legend.
