Harry Winston Watches – Opus 6 - $ 220,000

Harry Winston watches present the unique Opus 6 luxury wristwatch, which is a very significant achievement. Every watch collector wishes for a Harry Winston watch, and Opus 6 is doubly special since the exalted Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey of the Greubel Forsey watch brand fame custom designed it. One might think this is just another Tourbillon watch, but the Opus 6 is exclusive.

It is a double Tourbillon featuring three time display counters for the hours, minutes and seconds on its watch face. Reviews of these wristwatches at the various forums describe it as the ultimate Tourbillon. For any watch-collecting enthusiast, Tourbillons hold special value and the Opus 6 is one of the best.

The Harry Winston watches’ Opus 6 has a large white gold case predominantly featuring the double Tourbillon that has a one minute cage rotating in the four minute cage. The entire cage is angled at 30 degrees from the horizontal axis, eliminating chances of any positional errors. A band of polished gold runs through the watch face forming the number 6 to indicate that this is the Opus 6 wrist watch in the 6th year of the third millennium. Only 6 of these fine limited edition collectible wrist watches were made and available for sale, with an unlimited waiting list.

This Harry Winston watch was first presented at the Basel 2006, stunning everyone with its beauty and aesthetic appeal. Reading the time on the Opus 6 is interesting. There are no traditional hand and time can be viewed by observing the discs on the watch face. Other parts of the watch like the winding gear are positioned below the plates that support the discs. This position enables the tourbillon to rotate above a blue colored gold base place. The shape of this expensive Harry Winston watch is maintained by the custom tourbillon bridge.

It is obvious from this collectable Harry Winston watch that it is the work of the most highly acclaimed experts in the Swiss watch world. Two drum shaped circles are visible at the top of the watch, as a small solid circle and a larger hollow one. There are numbers featured in the special cutouts showing the time with red pointers. The Opus 6 designer Harry Winston watches are for those who love to dress strikingly yet subtly. One thing is guaranteed – you will certainly get a lot of glances simply by wearing the Opus 6 Harry Winston watch.
