Introduction
Paying tribute to the tradition of fine watchmaking, the Midnight collection is the vehicle through which Harry Winston combines classical and timeless horological complications and designs together into watches that celebrate Harry Winston’s famed craftsmanship as one of the world’s most prestigious jewelers and their impressive horological capabilities. Offered here we have the Midnight Quartz ref. 450/UQ39R, which is made of 18kt rose gold and presents a decidedly modern in its silhouette with a wonderfully wearable 39mm diameter that is decorated by engraved lugs, and an embellished bezel that boasts Harry Winston’s signature bezel detailing atop its winding crown at 3 o’clock. Boasting an understated soft champagne dial with diamond-set hour markers at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, this timepiece subtly typifies Harry Winston’s artisanal craftsmanship throughout its entire design and execution.

THE DIAL
Boasting a soft champagne dial, the Midnight Quartz is subtly decorated with diamond-set hour markers at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, all of which feature three brilliant-cut stones arranged on top of one another. In addition to Harry Winston's name at 12 o'clock, the dial also includes a near-invisible raised HW logo at 12 o'clock.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Made of 18kt rose gold, the Midnight's 39mm diameter case is decorated by Harry Winston's signature bezel embellishment at 3 o'clock and engraved lug detailing that set this watch off perfectly.
THE PROFILE
Powered by a quartz movement, the Midnight Quartz ref. 450/UQ39R boasts a wonderfully thin profile that sits flat to the wrist.
Condition
The watch is in near-mint condition. The rose gold case shows light marks from careful wear. The case back features very crisp hallmarks and engravings, with some light wear to the screw heads and mild tarnishing at the top and bottom. There is additional tarnishing on the gold pin buckle. The dial and hands are like new. The watch is fitted with a new brown leather strap and a Harry Winston gold pin buckle in near-mint condition.
Our Perspective
A classical design that marries understated elegance with modern convenience, the Midnight Quartz is a stylish and refined timepiece that embraces restraint in a measured and sophisticated manner.
