Harry Winston Diamond Corporation 
 (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/hwd#NYSE">HWD</a>) (the "Company") announces today that it has entered 
 into an agreement to sell its luxury brand diamond jewelry and 
 timepiece division, Harry Winston Inc., to The Swatch Group Ltd. (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/swgay#OTC">SWGAY</a>) for 
 US$750 million plus their assumption of up to US$250 million of pro 
 forma net debt.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Robert Gannicott said, "At the time that we purchased the Harry Winston brand, resource 
 investment opportunities for diamonds were rare and expensive following 
 the euphoria of the Canadian diamond discoveries, and the involvement 
 of the large international mining companies. The Harry Winston brand 
 was competitively priced compared with its peers and we could bring 
 diamond expertise and strategic connections to enhance value. Today 
 there is a range of diamond resource opportunities while the value of 
 heritage luxury brands has increased dramatically. This transaction 
 represents a sound return on our original investment. It will leave us 
 well equipped to realize upstream opportunities in an environment where 
 cash has become a strategic resource while preserving and expanding our 
 relationship with the downstream diamond business."
The Swatch Group, with its unparalleled combination of expertise in both 
 engineering and brand management, is the perfect

Harry Winston Diamond Corporation to Sell its Luxury Brand Segment to Swatch Group for $750M

It’s the most romantic time of the year. Between kisses under the mistletoe, toasty dinners by the fireplace and the long-held tradition of locking lips at midnight on New Year's -- the holidays are a great time to be in love.

	For some couples, this season will mark taking their relationship to the next step-- the “will you marry me?” step. New Year’s tends to make people think very seriously about their goals and priorities, so it’s a perfect time to pop the question.

	Indeed, <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/john-legend-engaged-to-super-model-chrissy-teigen-video-65840/">Fairchild Bridal Group </a>reports that 19 percent of all engagements happen in December--the most popular month by a significant margin.

	Benzinga readers are savvy investors, and for many, the prospect of buying a diamond ring begs the question: is it a good investment? Of course giving a diamond ring cannot be seen as a financial investment -- it is a sign of eternal love that is never meant to be sold. Given to the right mate, a ring is the only investment that can pay an infinite return.

	But there are certainly some folks who still wonder -- will the shiny rock’s value increase?

	Buying diamond jewelry as an investment is not generally considered to be wise, but global trends suggest that a girl’s best friend may produce positive returns. The rise of a new middle class in emerging markets like China and India will introduce a whole new segment of buyers to the diamond market. A <a href="http://www.bain.com/about/press/press-releases/bain-2012-global-diamond-report.aspx">recent report </a>from the consulting firm Bain &amp; Company predicted that global diamond consumption will jump from its 2011 level of $15.6 billion to $26.1 billion by 2020.

	There are significant downsides to investing in diamonds, however. De Beers is a privately held family of companies that has a monopoly on the diamond market. Its control over the marketplace renders diamond prices at the whims of a cartel more so than market factors. There is also no clear-cut market for previously diamonds -- negotiating with individual jewelers or pawn shops will typically leave sellers with an offer that is far below retail price tags.

	Diamonds may be a good investment for anyone who would like to stay prepared for a doomsday or refugee scenario, as their small size allows them to be smuggled or hidden easily.

	Ultimately, investors who want exposure to the increased demand for precious gems are likely better suited to consider diamond-sellers like Harry Winston Diamond Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/hwd#NYSE">HWD</a>) Tiffany &amp; Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/tif#NYSE">TIF</a>), Blue Nile (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/nile#NASDAQ">NILE</a>), and Signet Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/sig#NYSE">SIG</a>) or a new ETF, the PureFunds ISE Diamond/Gemstone ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/gems#NYSE">GEMS</a>).

 Earnings Scheduled For December 6, 2012 

In a report published Wednesday, BMO Capital Markets upgraded its rating on Harry Winston Diamond (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/hwd#NYSE">HWD</a>) from Market Perform to Outperform, and raised its price target from $13.00 to $16.00.

BMO Capital noted, “On BMO Research's estimates, the acquisition is 26% NPV accretive and accretive to earnings from the point of acquisition. However, BMO notes that the limited amount of information available from BHP's historical results means that estimates are somewhat provisional, pending guidance from Harry Winston. This is important in relation to the debt assumed by Harry Winston to finance the transaction. On BMO's forecasts, gearing is definitely manageable (peaking at 40%), but if estimates are incorrect, then an equity raise may be required. However, comfort can be gained from the high levels of free cash flow generated by Ekati in recent years (e.g., US$308M in 2011).”

Harry Winston Diamond closed on Tuesday at $13.15.
