Why shop Harry Winston in Europe?

Harry Winston was founded in New York in 1932 and remains the 'King of Diamonds.' Now owned by Swatch Group, the brand operates ultra-luxury salons in Paris (Avenue Montaigne), Geneva, and London. France's 12% effective VAT refund on multi-million-euro pieces translates to substantial savings; on a €1M diamond, that's a €120,000 difference. Switzerland offers tax-free shopping at lower rates.

Frequently asked questions.

Can I get VAT refund on Harry Winston online purchases?

No. VAT refunds are only available for in-store purchases made in Europe. Online orders shipped internationally are already VAT-exempt.

Do I need to show my Harry Winston purchase at customs?

High-value items (typically over €1,000) may require physical inspection at customs. Keep your purchase in carry-on luggage, not checked bags.

What if I'm connecting through a non-EU airport?

You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination.

How long does it take to get my refund?

With TravelMoney, refunds are processed instantly once validated at customs. Standard tax-free services can take 4-12 weeks.
