Pre-Owned Harry Winston Watches | The 1916 Company

Harry Winston, long revered as the "King of Diamonds," began shaping American luxury through legendary gemstones. In the late 20th century, the house translated its haute joaillerie expertise into mechanical watchmaking, blending precious materials with horological precision. The brand's timepieces are known for their artistic dial layouts, sculptural case shapes, and in many models, gem-setting techniques drawn directly from their jewelry heritage. From avant-garde design in the Ocean Collection to classical refinement in the Premier line, pre-owned Harry Winston watches represent both a design ethos and mechanical innovation that set the brand apart in the world of luxury horology.

Pre-Owned Harry Winston Watches: Innovation, Artistry, and Legacy

The legacy of Harry Winston as a jeweler to royalty and red-carpet icons has long been established. But since the 1980s, the brand has also emerged as a force in haute horlogerie, especially after launching its first watch collection in 1989. The brand's foray into mechanical watchmaking quickly gained traction due to its groundbreaking designs, use of precious materials, and bold vision for integrating jewelry aesthetics with technical craftsmanship.

Two of the most celebrated collections in this space are the Ocean and Premier lines. The Ocean collection is known for its sporty yet luxurious construction, often incorporating high complications like retrograde indicators, dual time zones, or tourbillons. In contrast, the Premier series features elegant dial symmetry and refined detailing — frequently adorned with diamonds or executed in precious metals like white or rose gold.

Perhaps most revolutionary is Harry Winston's Opus Series, launched in 2001 with the Opus One in collaboration with F.P. Journe . This trailblazing initiative paired the Harry Winston brand with independent horological visionaries, giving them freedom to create limited-edition, boundary-pushing timepieces. Over the years, collaborators have included Félix Baumgartner of Urwerk , Vianney Halter, and the innovative minds behind Greubel Forsey . These rare watches pushed the limits of mechanical storytelling and are now widely recognized as landmarks in modern independent watchmaking.

Pre-owned Harry Winston watches span a wide range of materials, including platinum, 18k white or rose gold, and models richly set with diamonds. You'll find automatic and manual-wind calibers, moonphases, chronographs, and tourbillons — many produced in highly limited quantities. This combination of exclusivity and innovation makes pre-owned Harry Winston watches particularly compelling for collectors of both watches and jewelry.
