圖錄文章
The early 21st century was truly the era of independent watchmaking, garnering a platform of independent artisans of horology to collaborate and share their ideas and concepts to create some of the most extraordinary timepieces that the community has yet to witness. This was the vision for Maximillian Busser, at the time the head of watchmaking department for Harry Winston. Spearheaded by who is now the founder of the revered independent firm MB&F, the Opus project that Busser started gathered some of the most talented watchmakers.

In 2003, Harry Winston in collaboration with reputable independent watchmaker Vianney Halter released the Opus 3. A genius in his craft, Mr. Halter takes his inspiration from outside of the horological world with most of his creations inspired by machinery, steampunk and science fiction.

A true horological feat, the Opus 3 is probably one of the most complicated time and date only wristwatches released. A nod to the vision of both parties, the case features both distinct elements of Harry Winston, interpreted on its lugs and its main body screaming Vianney Halter through its steampunk brushed-finished with 6 apertures for its countdown display of time and date. Consisting of 7 overlapping discs for the time and date indications but also a very playful and ingenious countdown of the last 4 seconds of each minute that can be read as follows:
- Top row from left to right: AM/PM and countdown indicator, date (tens), hours (units)
- Lower row from left to right: tens of minutes, date (units) minutes (units)

Launched as a limited edition model, 25 examples in pink gold, 25 examples in platinum and 5 rare examples in platinum with baguette-cut diamonds, the Opus 3 has become one of the most sought after creations by Vianney Halter in recent times as it was also the winner of the GPHG 2003.

Offered in excellent overall condition and complete with its original warranty and presentation box, the present example numbered 22 is a perfect addition to any collections of fine independent timepieces as a true icon with the perfect embodiment of Vianney Halter’s design language.
