  • Catalogue Essay

    Conceived in the year 2000 while Max Busser was in charge of the watch division at Harry Winston, the Opus series of watches celebrates independent watchmakers and helps them market their creations with the renowned Harry Winston brand. Every year Harry Winston would team up with an independent maker and create an artistic timepiece.

    The present watch, inspired by planetary movements, is the Opus X and was created by Jean-François Mojon, which resulted in an outstanding yet complicated timepiece. The time is displayed as a system of rotating indicators that are mounted on a revolving frame. A full rotation of the frame is when the dial of each indicator turns in the opposite direction. The exclusivity of the present watch is elevated further that it is numbered 1 of a limited series of 10 pieces only, where the top of the lugs and case band is lavishly set with baguette-cut diamonds and is for the first time offered at auction.
