The Particulars
- Two new Emerald timepieces anchor the Graffiti chapter: a navy lacquered mother-of-pearl dial with teal H.W. initials and four brilliant-cut aquamarines, and a white mother-of-pearl dial with pink and yellow bubble lettering framed by three brilliant-cut diamonds, each worn on a calfskin leather double tour strap — representing Harry Winston’s most graphically direct wristwatch proposition to date.
- Graffiti jewellery spans earrings, pendants, a bracelet, and brooches in pink sapphire and diamonds, blue sapphire and diamonds, and an all-diamond monochrome.
- A special H.W. brooch set with pink sapphires and Paraiba Tourmalines references the SoHo art scene directly.
- Every piece carries the House’s initials in an exaggerated block-letter format, balancing angular geometry with Winston’s characteristic gem-setting precision.
Design & Colour
Both Emerald timepieces share an unmistakable graphic directness. On the navy version, the H.W. initials are painted in teal blue with doodle accents across a lacquered mother-of-pearl background. Four brilliant-cut aquamarines anchor the letters at each corner, adding colour depth and dimensional contrast without crowding the composition. The navy-blue calfskin leather double tour strap unifies the palette from dial to wrist.
The pink iteration operates on a different register entirely. Bubble lettering in pink and yellow occupies the white mother-of-pearl dial, framed by blue and pink rings traced in the profile of an emerald-cut diamond. Three brilliant-cut diamonds mark 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. On a pink calfskin leather double tour strap, the piece makes no concession to restraint, which is precisely the point.

The Jewellery Line
Across the jewellery, the House’s initials are rendered in exaggerated block form using diamonds and coloured gemstones set to create sharp angular lettering. The format disrupts the conventions of fine jewellery without abandoning them: the lines are hard, the setting is impeccable. Earrings, pendants, a bracelet, and brooches each carry the same attitude, scaled to different moments of wear.
Three primary colourways structure the range: pink sapphire and diamonds for maximum contrast, blue sapphire and diamonds for a cooler authority, and an all-diamond version for collectors who prefer tonal unity. For Gulf collectors accustomed to pieces that command a room, the pink sapphire and diamond combination carries particular conviction. The Ocean Tourbillon GMT Worldtimer remains the reference for Winston’s haute horlogerie ambitions; Graffiti addresses a different desire entirely.
The H.W. Brooch and Its SoHo Reference
Within the collection, the special H.W. brooch occupies the most singular position. Set with pink sapphires and Paraiba Tourmalines, it explicitly references the SoHo art scene — the Manhattan neighbourhood where street art and gallery culture have coexisted for decades. Paraiba Tourmalines, prized for their electric blue-green luminosity, bring a chromatic intensity that no other gemstone replicates at this scale.
For the collector seeking a single piece that captures the collection’s entire proposition, the brooch concentrates it most completely. It draws from the same graphic vocabulary as the Chinese New Year Automatic 36mm in its willingness to let colour and culture lead, rather than defaulting to mineral restraint.
Ownership in the Gulf Context
Harry Winston positions Graffiti as a collection worn with intention, not inherited convention. For GCC collectors who build jewellery wardrobes that shift between private gatherings and public occasions, the double tour strap timepieces offer a flexibility that precious-metal bracelet watches rarely provide. The leather strap reads as a considered choice rather than a compromise.
Across the jewellery, the block-initial format translates directly in markets where personalised, initial-set pieces carry cultural weight. The collection is available through Harry Winston‘s international boutique network; GCC collectors should contact their regional boutique for specific availability on individual pieces.
