Harry Winston - A very good year

A very good year

The midnight monochrome dial seems exquisite. The Tourbillon jumpong hour has a beautiful caliber which integrates beautifully in the strong case of the Ocean. Beautiful novelty especially in WG.

The two "sertissage" masterpiece are work of art, as much as I am not into diamond watch, the ful dimaond is something different with the effect it gives. I much respect these watch for the amount of work it represents and the skills needed. The glacier and premier clagier are awesome in their style.

I am not into the different "histoires de Tourbillons", this one is no exception, not my cup of tea.

The Opus XIII is great, the case is beautiful, it respected the Winsont 3 bands style which is mho important, the diamond make sense in a Harry Winston watch, and Mr Ballouard style and complication is very nicely integrated. Legibility is a concern? Well I still think it is one of the most interesting Opus,. because it completely integrates the spirit and the style of HW with its diamond history, and the relation to the independant watchmaker. Moreover there were less wearable watch in the past this one is much better balanced than some thers imho..

Still waiting for an Alarm Ocean in WG only, which I think would be a killer for you A very nice year for HW overall.

Thanks for sharing FX.

The Jumping Hour...

The Ocean Tourbillon Jumping Hour is very cool and from your pics the WG versions looks great. -MW

Thanks Ming!

I was very happy with the light conditions when I did my shooting! :) Fx

An impressive year!

By: patrick_y : May 1st, 2013-13:10

Thank you for the comprehensive report. First time I saw photos of the sphere-like tourbillon. And I really do like the latest Opus and I agree with you, the font on the bezel is out of place. Thank you Fx for the great report!

Thanks Patrick!

By: foversta : May 2nd, 2013-14:26

Now, let's hope that they will have the will to change this font! Fx

Someone call Ludovic and pressure him to change it!

By: patrick_y : May 2nd, 2013-14:29

Good catch Fx! I might not have paid attention to the poor font choice if you hadn't mentioned it. Was too mesmerized by the movement to give the case its due attention.

It will be more efficient to call Harry Winston. :-) [nt]

You are right Francois...

A Z6 in WG or with this monochrome style would be stunning! Why not? ;) Fx

Great presentation Fx

By: Mark in Paris : May 2nd, 2013-02:56

It's a pleasure to have a clear overview of the 2013 novelties. The least I can say is that the Ocean familly is not my cup of tea. But there must be an offer for all kind of markets of course. It is not something I would have felt before but I really lik...

Thanks Mark for your input!

By: foversta : May 2nd, 2013-14:24

I hope that we will be able to see Opus XIII at Belles Montres in Paris! Fx

The jumping-hour is interesting...

By: aaronm : May 2nd, 2013-07:05

I don't like the shrunkin, it's so small in that open area, looks like a spare-part from another watch, but the openwork movement with the blue screws is very nice and dramatic A

Thanks Aaron for your comments!

By: foversta : May 2nd, 2013-14:22

Actually, I like the shuriken even if with a Tourbillon doing a full revolution per minute it is a bit useless. But it is so Harry Winston... Fx

several very nice offerings that i will never see in the flesh :(

By: G99 : May 2nd, 2013-13:38

the domed tourbillon is very nice, probably the nicest although the opus xIII movement is stunning. thanks yet again FX G

Thanks Graham!

By: foversta : May 2nd, 2013-14:19

But you know, there is a Harry Winston salon at Bond Street! ;) Fx

The best two Harry Winston watches

By: MTF : May 4th, 2013-09:47

Frx, Thanks for the report. I agree with your choice of Best Harry Winston watch of Baselworld 2013 but also to point out some very good work elsewhere. The Jumping Hour Tourbillon is a tour de force. The Feathers collection have very well set gemstones w...

I'm impressed with Harry Winston's offerings this year

By: AnthonyTsai : May 4th, 2013-15:35

I especially like the slate-like dials of the Midnight collection, and the Premiere feathers are outstanding. The Opus 13 dial is too techy and space'ish for my taste but the view from the display back is a major improvement from the regular Ludovics. All...
