harry winston INC.

Harry Winston Diamond Corporation purchased a majority interest in Harry Winston Inc., the premier diamond jewelry and watch retailer in April 2004, and increased its ownership to a full 100% in September 2006.   The acquisition of the premiere retailer realized Harry Winston Diamond Corporation’s objective of building value in a diamond business through the exploitation of synergies between the two bookends of the diamond pipeline: mining and retailing.

Founded in 1932, Harry Winston is the inventor of modern couture jewelry and is known as the “King of Diamonds” and “Jeweler to the Stars”. The company has an unrivalled position as the most exclusive and prestigious jewelry retailer and is known for its expertise, handmade craftsmanship, quality gems and innovative gem stone settings. The jeweler is renowned for donating the world's most famous gem stone, the Hope Diamond, to the Smithsonian Institution.

Harry Winston Inc. is headquartered in New York City, operates 18 retail salons worldwide, and intends to expand its retail network, both in the US and internationally. In addition, Harry Winston Inc. has over 150 points of distribution internationally for its exclusive line of timepieces. The company will build on its established reputation and expand its market position by introducing new product offerings to serve the needs of a growing number of affluent clients in the diamond jewelry market.
