american jeweler and watchmaker Harry Winston collaborates with amfAR for a good cause yet again, this time with a limited edition timepiece – the Harry Winston Countdown to a Cure Midnight amfAR.

Available in a limited edition of 20 each for men and women, the watch made an appearance at Seventh Annual Inspiration Gala in New York as part of the brand’s well-loved Midnight Collection. The men’s version, a 42mm 18k white gold watch sees a multi-hued seconds track running around a navy blue dial. The women gets a more souped up variation, with an arc of diamonds and precious gems – sapphires, garnets and rubies – lining the same blue dial from 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock. Brilliant-cut diamonds also mark the watch’s 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions, giving the 32mm gold timepiece a grand total of 12 diamonds and 19 gemstones.
