Harry Winston unveils Opus 14 with jukebox complication After a two-year hiatus, Harry Winston returns to his iconic Opus line with the Opus 14, which features a jukebox-inspired complication with retractable discs.Harry Winston Ocean Project replica

Harry Winston's Opus is a landmark complication collection developed by the New York jeweler in collaboration with independent watchmakers. But the last entry, Opus XIII, came out in 2013, casting doubt on the future of the series. Those doubts have vanished with the launch of the impressively complex Opus 14. Inspired by the jukebox and Americana of the 1950s, the Opus 14 features a dual time complication that does exactly the same thing as the jukebox. The concept for the Opus 14 was developed by Franck Orny and Johnny Girardin, the two watchmakers responsible for the extraordinary morphing dial of the Montblanc Timewriter Metamorphosis watch. The raised cylinder at nine o'clock contains four distinct discs, clearly inspired by vinyl records. At the top is the home time dial, which shows the hours in the home time zone and is always visible at the top. The minutes are displayed on a retrograde scale at four o'clock, while the power reserve is at six o'clock.

Below the main counter is the second time zone, the date and the last additional disc signed by the founder of the brand, Harry Winston. A function selector slider on the left side of the strap allows the wearer to select the disc he wants on the dial. When selected, the button at the four o'clock position will bring the disc out. wholesale replica watches

The disc is carried by one arm, like a turntable, which picks up the selected disc and places it on a turntable-like platform at the two o'clock position. Once placed on the platform, the puck remains until the pusher is pressed again, an action that returns the puck to the stack at nine o'clock.

While the Opus 14 has simple functions - a second time zone and date - it is powered by an extremely complex movement. The movement consists of 1066 parts, a similar number of parts to that of the Grande Sonnerie and Petit Sonnerie movements. Manual winding, 68 hours power reserve. Its operation requires two mainsprings, one to power the timing section and the other to drive the disc display.

The Opus 14 is also equipped with a silicon hairspring, the first watch in the Opus series to feature a silicon component. The movement is large, with a diameter of 46.7 mm. As a result, the watch is huge, with a white gold case measuring almost 55mm in diameter and a little under 22mm in height.replica Jacob & Co. Astronomia Sky

Harry Winston unveils Project Z14 Retrograde Seconds

As always in Zalium.

Project Z is Harry Winston's unique interpretation of luxury sports. Named after zirconium-aluminium alloy, Zalium is a strong, lightweight and corrosion-resistant zirconium-aluminium alloy, and Project Z often combines this exotic alloy with a skeleton dial. The new Project Z14 sticks to the established formula, but is the first of its kind in the collection, featuring a retrograde seconds hand.

At first glance, the Project Z14 is in no way inferior to previous Project Z watches, looking just as futuristic and edgy as its siblings. Notably, it features the same engraved brushed case and multi-layered dial, finished in Harry Winston's signature blue hue.swiss luxury replica watches

The enhanced sense of depth and structure is what sets the Project Z14 apart from its predecessors. A small adjustment that makes this noticeable difference is the chamfered bezel, which replaces the flat, smooth bezel in past products. The chamfered bezel adds more angles and facets to an already architectural case, blending nicely with the various bevels on the case and lugs.

With such a modern design, it's no surprise that the case is large (42.2mm in diameter, 10.7mm in height) and fits modern tastes.replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona

Skeleton dial
The attractive skeletonized dial has numerous details that enrich the visual depth. The time grid-patterned sub-dial and the radial Côtes de Genève on the base plate add visual complexity. But the monochromatic metallic look is also broken up by blue accents on the time display and second hand. And this watch is equipped with a fabric-covered rubber strap with "racing" stripes to complement the dial.

A first for Project Z, the second hand is a 30-second retrograde display, which means it jumps back to zero twice a minute. It is driven by a snail-shaped cam and return spring, which pushes the red second hand to instantly reset to zero every half-minute.

The complication is driven by the HW2022, an automatic movement with a silicon hairspring, evolved from the Frederic Piguet base movement.replica Richard Mille RM 011 Lotus F1 Team
