Harry Winston Opus Series: An Overview from Opus 1 to Opus 13

At the 2015 Basel International fake watches for sale and Jewellery Show, Dr. Nayla Hayek quietly let people know that Opus 14 is about to come out.

Since June 2010, Hayek has served as Chairman of the Swatch Group Board of Directors. After the Swatch Group acquired the brand, she became the CEO of Harry Winston in January 2013.

After the Swatch Group's acquisition, the continuation of the Opus series seems unquestionable to me, although in an interview with the Basel International Watch and Jewellery Fair in 2014, Marc Hayek did reveal that he and his family like the Opus series and he Foresee a continuation.

Although seeing is believing, Nayla Hayek's glimmer of hope is a good reason to review the Opus series of historical timepieces. It is still the most famous and important watch product of the past. Known as Harry Winston Rare Timepieces (now just Harry Winston).harry winston opus 12

As you might guess, the absolute premise of my favorite Opus series is its collaboration with some of the world's leading independent watchmakers.

a "friendly" beginning

Just like the stories of many outstanding independent watchmakers of the modern era, this story also began with Maximilian Büsser. We now know that Büsser is the founder of MB&F. However, before that, at the age of 31, he became the CEO of the emerging Harry Winston Rare Timepieces.

Büsser has the energy, ideas and deep passion for unusual high-end watches - he took his traits when he founded his company MB&F (Maximilian Büsser&Friends) in 2005.

The concept of the "concept" watch is perfectly presented by Büsser for Harry Winston's Opus collection. The over-limited annual version revolves around working with outstanding independent watchmakers to create an iconic version of the clock every year. One aspect of the original idea is that independents will benefit from the greater public exposure that Harry Winston will generate, and diamond-centric brands will be acclaimed with the world-class watchmakers' serious watchmaking.Devon TREAD 2 BLOODY MARY

Watchmaker Harry Winston Rare Timepieces chose to work with everyone to earn a reputation for unusually high quality timepieces. However, when introducing each Opus, the independent watchmakers involved (many of whom are barely known outside the collector's circle) are well known to the wider public, who are suddenly interested in their products and realize Their names.

To pay tribute to Harry Winston in a more transparent manner: While most companies - especially in the early days of these collaborative masterpieces - retained their own name for the action maker, Harry Winston proudly promoted these sources. Each unique collaboration Opus watch.

Although the brand known for its high-quality diamonds has two new directors between Büsser's departure and the Swatch Group acquisition – the current Louis Vuitton watch and jewelry division CEO Hamdi Chatti and later the FrédéricdeNarp Bally Group CEO - The unique Opus collection has always been a highlight of the Harry Winston watch collection and has played an important role in enhancing the brand's watch reputation.

I am very excited that the series will continue and eagerly look forward to the launch of Opus 14 - whenever possible.Tonino Lamborghini watches replica

Opus 1

After accidentally meeting his friend Büsser on the Basel World Escalator, François-Paul Journe launched the Opus series in 2001, when he concentrated most of his energy on the physical phenomenon of resonance. In short, resonance is the synchronization of frequencies.

It is this type of sport that Journe used for joint projects with Harry Winston. The double-balanced wheels of the two separate movements of this watch appear to be connected by stealth waves and are designed to provide precision and display in two separate time zones. The crown is set and two actions and two time zones are displayed. Six different versions have been created, two of which are paired with beautiful Harry Winston diamonds.

Another focus of Journe's was the tourbillon, so the other six unique Opus 1 models were made of platinum with a tourbillon and a remontoird'égalité longitudinal system.

Journe created the last six Opus 1 models, powered by the world's first automatic movement with a five-day power reserve - this normal-sized movement (30.5 mm diameter, 5.7 mm high) uses only one spring gun It can be achieved.urwerk ur-110 replica
