Though named for a flower, Harry Winston’s
timepiece, the Rosebud, is
actually more of
a chameleon. A freestanding 18-karat white gold watch
case encrusted with diamonds, it comes with accessories that enable it
to be worn in a number of ways: a white gold chain from which it can
hang as
a pendant; a satin band to wear on the wrist;
and a pin
backing that converts it into a brooch. Adding to its versatility, the
Rosebud’s face is equipped with a cover that can be swiveled on or off,
allowing it to function as a watch or simply a
bauble. “We were looking
for something that is
a jewel and a timepiece,” says Sandrine de Laage,
art director and vice president of design for Harry Winston. The
Rosebud’s glam packaging also does double duty: When opened, the black
lacquered Reuge music box plays Chick Corea’s jazz tune “Children’s Song
No. 1” (at Harry Winston,
New York; $81,900).Best Bud
