Harry Winston Produces Satellite Time

21 july 2005

Looking for a satellite on your watch? Harry Winston’s latest creation – the Opus V watch - doesn't quite provide that, but it is the first watch with a “satellite hour” display.

Created in cooperation with Felix Baumgartner, the jewelers to the stars watch features three small blocks each with four numbers arranged like satellites on a three-dimensional rotating system, showing the time as they turn around.

Another luxury touch, and a first for a watch, is that the watch also has a service indicator telling the wearer when it needs maintenance.

Needless to say, these luxurious creations are being made in extremely limited numbers – in fact just 100 – of which 45 are made of pink gold, 45 in 950Pt platinum, seven in 950Pt platinum set with white full-cut diamonds, and three in 950Pt platinum set with white baguette-cut diamonds.

Other features include a power-reserve indicator an day and night indication. The company is not advertising the price of this mechanical timepiece.
