Harry Winston

Opus 8

 

Dear Bernard,

This Opus is yet a great master piece because it is a dream come true and no limit impose by HW. It is a wild creation from Frederic and it is a pity that the change of managment affects you so much. But the direction of the brand in terms of Opus has never changed, an Opus is still an Opus, after Max, Hamdi or anybody else. This one shows like Opus 3, that HW can always go futher, but still promoting a wearable watch. The price is much lower than 500.000 CHF.

Then from one of your previous post, you are making a mistake, the Foundation Time Aeon is separate from Opus, or may be let's say, it is even going further, in order to promote the project of an unknown watchmaker and to help him with transfer of knowhow.

Thanks for you understanding.

Thank You very much, particulary Mr. CHEONG i love generate this debate since the coming of OPUS 8 people love and adore and some others hate and throw back ! In fact the criticism is easy for viewers, but it's more difficult for us, watchmakers, engineer... 

Thank you Mr Garinaud.

Your work with the watch is indeed unusual and to me..imaginative, and clever. I criticised Opus 8 not for your work, but that it was marketed by the Harry Winston's new management as an "Opus". In fact, at the price of over half a million sf, and also wi...

" The owner needs to press the slide to raise the discs to press the "digits" on the "dial" up..." you try to explain why the Opus 8 just doesn't do it for you, on the other hand you have praised the Opus 7 which also needs the pushing of a button to read... 

Hi Alex my friend! The Opus 7 remains "alive" even if you don't press..

the lever, but the O 8 appears to be a cripple or some animal lacking an arm or leg...or possibly the strong resemblence to a music box. The O 7 was not one of my favorites, but I always ask myself..would I have bought it. The answer was yes, but my budeg... 

It's AMAZING !!
