These Opus watches are something to be seen...
I always had difficulties in finding some interests in jewelery companies that decided to enter the watch area: there was a legitimacy issue I couldn't accept.
I'm not into the other HW's watch collections, but still, HW has really done a fantastic and strong job with the Opus familly that one who loves watchmaking can't ignore.
And this Opus 12 could even look like a bargain in comparision with other challengers (High-end JLCs, RMs, Pateks etc ...): they are original and very well designed. Even if the brand's history in watchmaking is not always as dense.
Thanks for the look back to 2012 Fx, and I'm eeger to discover the new one.
Cheers,
Mark
2012: my Harry Winston year
Harry Winston is not a brand with very high production figures: only several thousands of watches are produced per year. However, 2012 was a very busy year with a lot of novelties for my deepest pleasure! I propose you a wrap-up of the main events of the ...

How appropriate the year started . . .
. . . with a shock, and ended with a pleasant surprise! Perhaps the Powers That Be located the new Paris boutique near your office by design. Thanks for the retrospective, F-X . . . 2012 was indeed a year of significant introductions for Harry Winston. Co...
Thanks Art for your words!
And again, my mission for 2013 will be to start many threads in the forum! ;) Fx
Thanks FX, this year end summary has caused me to make
a new resolution for 2013... To visit the Harry Winston forum! I've always loved the triple retrograde complication but how did I miss that floating tourbillon? (Who designed this?) Thanks for the recap. Best, Mike
That's a very good resolution!
About the floating Tourbillon, I don't know who designed it. But the Triple Retrograde Chronograph, I have the answer: Emmanuel Gueit himself! Thanks! Fx
The HW 2012 year
Thanks for the 2012 summary of HW. Will be interesting to see what treasures HW has for 2013. Regards, ED-209
Rumors say that 2013 will be also very active!
So I'm in the starting-blocks! Thanks Ed! Fx
Even if the designs...
...are not always to my taste, I applaud Harry Winston's daring and absolute commitment to high-end watchmaking. Looking at the pictures, their bold outlook on what makes a watch interesting aesthetically and mechanically is readily apparent. Great post, ...
Thanks a lot Daos!
One of the purposes of the wrap-up was to show the different styles offered by Harry Winston! Thanks for your message! Fx
Wow, what a year...
Thanks for the recap, can hardly wait for the news on the full 2013 collection! -MW
I start to be very impatient Ming! :-)
Hopefully, the first one of 2013 will arrive soon! ;) Thanks a lot for your comments and your activity in this forum! Fx
Amazing how much HW has shipped under the radar
FrX, I agree the Histoire de Tourbillon is TOO much for real life. On the other hand, the subtle muting of the Harry Winston triple arch case in the Premier and Midnight lines may expand the possibilities for a wider client demographic. We like the old ic...
Thanks Melvin for your comments!
You are right, with the Excenter, Midnight, Ocean cases without forgetting the special collections like Opus or HDT, Harry Winston has several assets to meet the expectations of different tastes! Fx
Yes, I knew that HW had a busy year thanks to..
... your reports one after another constantly! And each time, I was amazed by the beauty and technical aspects. Looking forward to the more active watch year for HW in 2013! Thanks for the wrap-up, Fx! Ken
Thanks a lot Ken!
I would like to thank you for your activity in this forum, much appreciated! Fx
Incredible 2012!
An incredible 2012 especially with the Opus 12! Also a big fan of the watch with the feather dials. An exceptional, beautiful, and unusual dial to manufacture! Thank you for culminating the year for us!
