Opus 6 Released
The Opus 6 is a massive white gold case which seems to contain nothing but a tourbillon; but on closer examination one can see that it is no ordinary tourbillon, in fact not only is it a double tourbillon with a one minute cage rotating inside a four minute one, but the whole cage is also inclined at 30? from the horizontal. The twin attributes of a double tourbillon and the 30? incline combine to produce a mechanism that is essentially immune to any positional errors.
The tourbillon seems to rotate with no connection to the rest of the mechanism and a casual viewer might wonder where the rest of the mechanism has gone, and also where the hands might have gone. In fact there are no hands, time is told by reading the 3 small discs at the top of the watch, they display the seconds, minutes and hours (reading left to right) and the winding gear & the rest of the movement hide under the plates which support these discs. This leaves the tourbillon to rotate unencumbered serenely above a blued gold base plate. The blued steel conical pillars support a polished steel tourbillon bridge which is crafted in the shape of the Harry Winston signature double arches.
The total number to be produced will be just six, making this the most exclusive model of the Opus series yet to be produced.
First deliveries are expected in June with the rest following at 6 to 7 week intervals
