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 .
