Harry Winston Opus 12
 

Seeming as the forum has been quiet, i was so impressed with this i thought i'd spark up some chatter about this magnificent piece.

To be honest HW have been releasing some ingenuitive and interesting pieces for quite a while but this one is simply phenomenal:

Agreed, it's a sharp looking watch. Sucks that I'm apparently too retarted to be able to tell time on it though.

That looks like one hell of a complicated watch!!!!
I likey

Blue large hand indicates the minute, blue shorter hand represents the hour...not difficult. The middle dial displays minutes 1 through 5 as the main dial only shows 5 minute incriments.

Love Harry Winston! They look like they are used to calculate time in a dimension at right angles to our own. :D

I love it for the complication and mechanical intricacy of what it is and does, but it's sort of a pain in the butt to actually read the time. I'd still rock one though, just to watch it tick. Same goes for just about every piece from Urwerk and MB&F.

yup the Opus line is just toooo awesome, every yr for the past 12 hw has been collaborating with an independent watchmaker to come up with one of these. of note is that their first opus was with fp journe and they made one with greuberl forsey that is spectacular (all 12 pcs are in their own way)

holy crap that is one hot watch! Buy it Josh!

of the Entire OPUS series there have been 3 or 4 really great designs and they have continued (those pieces) to hold very good value.

They are usually all sold out well in advance.

And pigs will fly before i ever spend $250k on a single piece!

thats a lot of allowance money

Oh look, the old, deadbeat hick troll posted in another of my threads. Surprise!

Beautiful! what a work of art.

I got the chance earlier this year to look at a few of their pieces close up and this was definitely my favorite. Truly an amazing timepiece!

Sent from my SGH-T989 using teamspeed

So beautiful...

Looks like a rotary piston engine.

Haha, I was just thinking of that. It reminds me of a rotary engine as well. :)

really cool piece.. But $250K?!:wow2: I have a feeling Id be looking at my phone for the time more than the watch

Funny I used to say that as well....look where it got me now...

Still haven't seen any pigs fly in my neighborhood yet.

I think your pockets are deeper than mine mate!

My pockets would have to be quite deep to even think about buying a 250k car let alone watch :shrug:

This is an awesome timepiece nonetheless, engineering behind it is fantastic
