Pretty cool Harry Winston Opus 5.

P.S. Wait till you check out the Opus 9. Imagine a conveyor belt made from diamonds......

Mosco · 8 May 2009, 02:28 PM

Simply wow!!!

bodybump · 8 May 2009, 02:37 PM

AMAZING!!!!

Drumr · 8 May 2009, 02:39 PM

brilliant.

JJ Irani · 8 May 2009, 04:46 PM

Certainly NOT a gas meter, but that baby would make my head spin every time I tried to figure out what time it was!!!

Technologically, it may be a marvel; aesthetically it still looks like my friggin' gas meter!!

So Al, it might as well be a gas meter to JJ.

Mort · 8 May 2009, 11:08 PM

So what discount would one expect on this one at the local HW AD?

CharlieG · 9 May 2009, 12:05 AM

Beautiful watch but not my cup of tea

Al
That is a stunning looking watch.
Its similar in a number of ways to the URWERK 202 model.

Barryboy · 10 May 2009, 12:03 AM

I appreciate that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I can't think of a fuglier watch than that... except perhaps for that ridiuclously priced leopard skin design thing that a certain company-that-should-have-know-better once produced.

Now there's a sensible post for you, guys!! Well said, Rob!!

SubmarinerMan · 12 May 2009, 08:51 AM

The watch looks great!

But i'd definitely be confuzzled after glancing down at my wrist to check the time!!!

By the time I could figure out the time whilst driving a car, I'd be several times up the front guys ass!!!

rdrzman · 16 May 2009, 01:41 PM

I like it, something original and the case is very deco in design. For me. I want a watch that has a wow factor, that is not like the rest (sorry Rolex and Omega) and that a freind would look at my wrist in awe.

Looks good, but a rip-off of the Urwerk to me.

This might be why:

"It is a collaboration with Felix Baumgartner of Urwerk."

Flaxmoore · 17 May 2009, 02:30 AM

$105,000...

Holy hell. I could get a decent house in the good part of town for that!

Spare201 · 21 May 2009, 05:37 AM

That is an awesome watch. That is truly where imagination crosses watchmaking. BTW I love Urwerk.

Yep, a total of 100 were made. From Luxist:

"It is a limited edition with 45 pieces in pink gold, 45 pieces in platinum, 7 pieces in Platinum with full cut diamonds and 3 pieces in Platinum with baguette cut diamonds. Prices start around $105,000."

G M · 8 June 2009, 06:03 PM

Thats an amazing piece!

Imtiaz · 8 June 2009, 06:22 PM

I stay away from Harry Winston watches.

Over priced and very much "New Rich" styles.

Ouch!

Good thing Rolex have never been considered Nouveau Riche! lol!

I'll stick to my Leopard Daytona, far more classy.

Gaijin · 9 June 2009, 11:27 PM

Agreed, same as my gas meter. I let my Property Manager do the reading!!!

plat-numb · 16 June 2009, 08:36 AM

That watch is like an AWESOME tattoo on a friend...

You look at it, and marvel at how cool it looks, the masterful artwork, the contrasts in colors and the artistic detail...

Then someone asks, "why aren't you covered in tats?" and you think to yourself... umm because I would look horrible!

LOL!

I agree though, that is a stunning piece of art.
