Part 4: the watches
By: foversta : September 5th, 2010-08:04
I will come back later to each of these watches, they obviously deserve a specific thread. The event was an impressive gathering of Harry Winston watches, Opus or not. Some pics were taken at the Montres Prestige boutique during my stay in Geneva. Wearing...

One more time as I am really, really slow
By: NickO : September 6th, 2010-16:56
How the heck do you tell the time on the Opus 7??? If someone could tell me the time displayed in the first picture above, perhaps I can work it out? Stumped (again) NickO BTW - thanks Foversta for the effort in putting this great report and pictures toge...
I explain you how it works.
By: foversta : September 9th, 2010-15:06
With this watch, the information is not displayed at once like any other watch. You have to press the crown to read the hours, than to read the minutes, then to read the power reserve. Let's take an example: We are between 4 and 5 o'clock. If I want to kn...
Got it!!
By: NickO : September 10th, 2010-21:04
Thanks for the explanation, I really appreciate it. You have no idea how long I looked at that photo trying to work out how to read the damn minutes With regards, NickO
Part 5: the Opus watches in the cabinets
By: foversta : September 5th, 2010-08:06
I put an end to my report with the pictures of the Opus watches in the cabinets. It was very difficult to gather them all (except the other two Opus 1 from François-Paul Journe). Walking all along the front of the Manufacture where the lounge were put in ...
Wow, wow, wow!

Great post, FX! Seeing all the Opus watches together is pretty amazing. Not to mention the associated watchmakers. I enjoyed seeing your photo of the Midnight Minute Repeater also, a watch we never see on the forum! Thanks for a great read! Cheers, Daos

Harry Winston would be proud, to know that out of the world's most significant watches, at least ten were made with the name Harry Winston on them. Ten years, ten watches, and hopefully many more to come! Thank you Foversta for bringing us in spirit to th...

By: amanico : September 5th, 2010-11:42
Very nice and interesting watches, cool people, great food and drinks. The only missing thing is the swimming pool. Seriously, the HW Opus 5 was my Grail watch some years ago, so you can imagine my pleasure when seeing it posted here. The Z series is also...

I saw current and former PuristS Harry Winston forum moderators (foversta and Bernard), mega-Opus dealer Mike Tay, my Japanese fixer-dealer Momoi-san, TimeWerke editor Timmy Tan and some 'anonymous PuristS'. Only a couple of people associated with the Har...
