A New High Jewelry and Timepiece Exhibition in Shanghai, China
SHANGHAI, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The House of Harry Winston, the legendary jewelry and timepiece brand renowned as the "King of Diamonds," presents its magnificent "Rare Jewels of the World" High Jewelry and Timepiece Exhibition in Shanghai, China. Open to the public from September 7 to 13, the new exhibition will present the House's legendary stones, one-of-a-kind high jewels, archival treasures, and timepieces.
From famed diamonds and gemstones to masterpieces of design, more than 165 iconic high jewelry and timepiece creations will be on display together for the first time, reflecting Mr. Harry Winston's profound imprint on the industry, his pioneering design vision, and the House's continued commitment to only the most exceptional.
Guests at the exhibition will journey through 10 perfectly curated galleries, starting with Mr. Harry Winston's early days and ending with the magnificent jewels of today, with each offering an immersive opportunity to discover a defining chapter in the House's near century long legacy.
Never seen before images and video clips illuminate the life of Mr. Harry Winston, as guests walk through the Heritage Tunnel; the Vintage Gallery presents landmark creations from the House's archives; a special section dedicated to Harry Winston's history in China, reveals the longstanding connection and shared meaningful milestones, as 2026 marks thirty years since the House hosted its first exhibition at the Palace Museum in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Additional galleries examine the House's distinctive design language, including the evolution of the Winston Cluster, its renowned craftsmanship, and diamond jewels for life's most meaningful moments. Harry Winston's enduring affinity for New York comes to life with an interactive stroll through Central Park, leading to two spectacular high jewelry galleries, home to an extraordinary selection of one-of-a-kind masterpieces.
At the heart of the exhibition is the Winston Pink Legacy Diamond, a stone so closely tied to Harry Winston that its carat weight at 18.96 carats mirrors the year Mr. Harry Winston was born. The Winston Pink Legacy's incredible size and rare fancy vivid pink color grading make it one of the most sensational diamonds in the world, and the House is proud to bring this extraordinary piece to Shanghai for the first time. Another incredible gemstone highlight is the Rockefeller-Winston Emerald. The impressive gemstone was originally named after its owner, the famed Rockefeller family, but in the hands of Harry Winston artisans, the 18.03 carat emerald now rests in an impressive Winston-style ring, with beautiful diamond accents.
Representing the pinnacle of rarity, beauty, and unparalleled craftsmanship, the exhibition reflects the discerning eye and uncompromising standards that have shaped the House of Harry Winston for more than 90 years.
Harry Winston's "Rare Jewels of the World" exhibition will be open for public viewing from September 7-13 at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre. To make a reservation, visit Harry Winston's dedicated mini program on WeChat or follow the links below.

Veteran Tech Leader Brings 25-Plus Years of IT, Cybersecurity, and AI Experience to Modernize Platforms and Strengthen Security
DENVER, Colo., Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Spinnaker Support, the third-party software support leader entrusted by 1,300+ global clients, today announced the appointment of Rex Young as Chief Information Officer (CIO). Reporting to CEO Matt Stava, Young will lead Spinnaker's global technology strategy as the company expands to meet the accelerating global demand for Oracle, SAP, VMware, and PostgreSQL support.
Young's mandate centers on modernizing the company's technology platforms, strengthening its data and analytics capabilities, and enhancing cybersecurity. That work extends to Spinnaker's AI strategy, building on tools like Navigator and Spinnaker Intelligence to speed issue resolution while hardening the security posture for every department. He will also partner closely with other leaders across the company to use technology in ways that improve operational efficiency, support customers, and enable smarter, data-driven decision-making.
"Our core technology capabilities shape how we operate and serve our customers," said Matt Stava, CEO of Spinnaker Support. "Rex has spent his career turning complex technology environments into engines for growth. His experience modernizing platforms, strengthening security, and putting data and AI to work will help us deliver more for our customers."
Young brings more than 25 years of executive technology leadership experience, including roles with private equity-backed software and technology companies. He most recently served as CIO and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at SambaSafety, where he led enterprise IT, information security, digital transformation, AI enablement, and large-scale modernization initiatives that supported the company's growth. Earlier in his career, he served as CIO at LogRhythm.
"Spinnaker is growing fast, and that growth has to be matched by technology that scales with it," said Young. "My focus is on simplifying how the business runs, so AI can do more than automate tasks. Done right, it strengthens security instead of expanding the attack surface, and gives our engineers faster answers instead of more noise. And this isn't just internal IT. I want us building technology our customers benefit from directly, not only what keeps the lights on behind the scenes. That's the foundation I want under Spinnaker as we grow. I look forward to partnering with Matt and the leadership team at a stage where the business has real momentum."
Spinnaker carries a 94% customer satisfaction rating and support teams averaging more than 20 years of enterprise engineering experience. The last 12 months have brought a series of significant milestones:
- Revenue growth: Spinnaker is sustaining double-digit growth as enterprises increasingly turn to independent support for greater control and flexibility. Demand continues to accelerate across Oracle, SAP, and VMware practices, with expansion across both new and existing global customers.
- South Africa expansion: In March 2026, Spinnaker opened its South Africa office in partnership with African Rainbow Capital, establishing a regional delivery and engineering hub and extending the company's global reach across Africa and sub-Saharan regions.
- VMware division growth: In response to Broadcom's subscription licensing changes, the VMware practice has signed dozens of enterprise clients and announced indefinite support for organizations running vSphere 7 past Broadcom's October 2025 end-of-support deadline.
