Nothing can match the feminine vulnerability and sorrow of Madame Butterfly. Set in Japan, this true story of the unrequited love between an American naval lieutenant and his young Japanese bride inspired Puccini to write some of his most sublime and heartfelt music.
The story of Madame Butterfly is far from a rosy one, but that will never stop us dressing for romance and feeling those butterflies in the stomach. Rose gold butterflies!

HARRY WINSTON
The Premier Precious Butterfly requires an unusual technique. In the stunning Premier Feathers, Harry Winston combined two ancestral skills: horology and feather art. With its new Premier models, the company is continuing to explore unexpected pairings and another highly original technique. The material chosen for this model – butterfly wings – is brimming with emotions and symbolism. The vibrant colours adorning the Premier Precious Butterfly timepieces are created using the fragile, yet extraordinarily iridescent, powder found on butterfly wings. Harry Winston designers successfully harvested and expertly placed this delicate powder on each of its dials, a technique that required three years of creative reflection and development.
The majesty of green
Reminiscent of spectacular emerald gemstones, the Premier Precious Butterfly features the stunning and intensely appealing colour green. Still, each dial is as unique as a butterfly. Harry Winston designers expertly use the delicate powder with its extraordinary pigment to transform the dials into artistic creations. This powder is the only material used to create the unique motif and allows for a rare and mesmerising visual experience.

When colour springs to life
Harry Winston introduces three other models that also explore this technique. With each of these timepieces, the pigments create a kaleidoscope of colours as they recreate butterfly wings. The dials catch and hold light just like the wings of a butterfly found in nature. The sapphire crystal seems to be the only thing keeping the butterfly inside the gold case, set with 57 brilliantcut diamonds.
The timepieces in the Premier Precious Butterfly collection are driven by a mechanical automatic movement equipped with a silicon balance spring. The movement finishes – circular Côtes de Genève, rhodium plating and circular graining – speak to the attention to detail cherished by Harry Winston.
