Once favored by European nobility for its use in headwear and dress, Harry Winston and master plumassière Nelly Saunier have revived the obscure art of feather marquetry with the Premier Feathers Collection. One of the few craftspeople still practicing this technique, Saunders has dedicated nearly seven hours to the crafting of each individual dial - cutting, shaping and positioning one of four variations of feather - silver pheasants, Lady Amherst pheasants, ring-necked pheasants, and most exquisitely, peacocks.
