Harry Winston Commemorates The Year Of The Monkey

Alvin Wong 04 December 2015

You can expect more monkey-themed timepieces to swing your way in 2016.

The monkey is the ninth of 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac, and it has become customary for some brands, such as Harry Winston, to roll out special edition timepieces to commemorate the Chinese Lunar New Year.

The Premier Monkey Automatic 36mm is capricious creation, depicting the primate in yellow gold; the sculpted execution here recalling decorative Chinese paper cuts. Set against a pink mother-of-pearl dial with inlaid gold specks, this auspicious looking combination of precious metal and stone is rendered even more regal with brilliant and emerald-cut diamonds totalling 2.56 carats on the case and dial.
