- Dial and Functions
- The silver dial is configured in a tri-compax arrangement, housing three recessed registers for chronograph measurement. The hour markers consist of oversized stylized Arabic numerals applied to the surface. The dial also incorporates a date aperture situated at the 6 o'clock position to align with the central vertical axis of the face.

The brand signature is printed on the upper portion of the dial, placed below the 12 o'clock marker.
- Horological Context
- This timepiece reflects the entry of the jewelry house into the wristwatch market. The design deviates from standard Swiss watchmaking norms by incorporating elements rooted in the brand's jewelry and architectural background. As part of the Premier line, this watch represents an early period of the company's watchmaking history.
- Case Design and Construction
- The Premier Chronograph is characterized by its 18K yellow gold case, which prioritizes architectural form. A primary visual identifier for the model is the presence of triple-arched lugs, which serve to connect the watch head to the strap. These components are described as direct design references to the entrance of the Harry Winston flagship store located on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The case includes a sapphire crystal display back, which allows for visual access to the mechanical movement inside. The watch is paired with an alligator strap and features a matching yellow gold deployant clasp, maintaining a consistent material palette across the assembly.
