Harry Winston have just created the most fabulous and creative pair of Broadway Glasses, encrusted with diamonds, onyx and emeralds. A tribute to the opera glasses that one uses to view the stage from a distance, they are a nod to the Art Deco era—invoking the famous Broadway theater from New York in the 1930s. The glasses have a body of gold and titanium almost entirely covered in diamonds and black onyx. The central structure features a bold, geometric design which recalls the Art Deco spirit. Two layers of 80 baguette-cut diamonds frame six rows of 240 brilliant-cut diamonds. But the special surprise in these glasses is the octagonal watch on the bridge whose shape was inspired by the emerald cut given to the diamonds. This watch is fully set with 48 baguette-cut diamonds and is bordered by a black onyx frame with emeralds in each corner. The press of a small button allows the watch case to “pop up” so that the time can be set from the inside. The telescopic handle is made of 18-karat white gold, decorated with onyx marquetry and a combination of 30 brilliant-cut and 14 baguette cut diamonds. We’re almost blinded by all that bling!
