The Opus 7 was manufactured in conjunction with Harry Winston and Andreas Strehler . The concept behind the Opus series of watches , which still runs today , is an independent manufacture collaborating with the giant Harry Winston on a cutting edge and highly limited wristwatch . The present Opus 7 follows the watch making philosophy of the independent watchmaker who created it and focuses on the movement and the quality of its execution . Composed of many wheels , the time is displayed in a very unique way . In order to see the hours , minutes and power reserve , one needs to press the crown once for minutes , a second time to view the hour and the third time to view the power reserve . This is a very ingenious way and upholds what everyone believes the Opus collaboration is all about . The present watch is a unique example set with baguette-cut diamonds and sapphires and is a one-of-a-kind piece for the first time offered at auction . Andreas Strehler began to be recognized by the masses in the horological world in 2006 , when his Moser Perpetual One won the complicated watch prize and the Grand Prix de Geneve . In 2007 he successfully collaborated with Harry Winston for the design end execution of the Opus 7 that was made in a limited edition of 50 watches only .
