Harry Winston’s Opus 12, a Wrist watch that is made of 607 parts!

Harry Winston’s Opus 12 Wristwatch is the mechanical machine, that overturns the perception of time by drawing its inspiration from the Copernican revolution. According to the reports, the price of the watch is $260,000. The watch is made of 607 parts, 80 jewels, 2 barrels and with the help of 24 hands. The watch functions interestingly with the help of a blue and silver markers that animate during the hour change.

Before we speak about the mechanical functionality of the watch, its better to have a look at this amazing promo video released by Harry Winston. More than a wristwatch, the animation stuns me a lot,

Guess? Whats the exact time now?

Just have a look at the above picture and guess the exact time? Yes, it’s ten past 12 minutes and 30 seconds. There are twelve markers, where each one is made of two tabs that flip independently of one another into a single rotating structure. The functionality of the watch is too cumbersome to put in words, so let me leave it to you to understand it from the above video.
