The Harry Winston Opus 12 Watch

The complexity of watch and pocket watch movements are also getting more involved with new designs and ideas being used that go beyond the simple approach of having hands moving around a clock face. It seems to be a challenge within the watch making industry to see who can make the more complex movements and one such watch is the Harry Winston Opus 12.

Unlike your ordinary watch or silver pocket watch, the Opus 12 doesn’t feature hands but over 600 parts, 80 jewels, 2 barrels and 24 hands which spin to indicate the current time. The markers around the watch face flip round to show the other side which is a metallic blue finish and this is how the time is read. Have a look at this fancy video showing off the concept. 

Since only 120 of these watches are being made so they really are only going to be for the elite few that are going to be able to afford the ridiculously high price tag. You can’t even buy it off the official Harvey Winston website, you have to request an appointment so that means you and I definitely won’t be able to afford it!
