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:

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.

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)
