Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 3 Watch

Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 3 Watch
The third series in Harry Winston’s exploration of the tourbillon
The Histoire de Tourbillion 3 is made up of polished and satin brushed 18 karat white gold and Zalium alloy metal case housing two of the tourbillions in a solo lop sided oval with the third tourbillion sitting on it’s own.

The watch  comes in a gold case measuring 65.9mm x 45.9mm , with its caseband and lugs in Zalium (a hard and ultra-light zirconium alloy), and manual-wind triple tourbillon movement w/50 hrs power reserve. Eleven color-graded blue sapphires from dark to pale show the power left in the mainspring. The markers for the hours and minutes are color-matched with the gemstones. When the six yellow citrines appear against the marker, it’s time to wind up the watch.

The hours and minutes are shown on discs rotating against their respective markers, and the seconds on a scale around the bi-axial tourbillon.  Harry Winston shows off its flair with gemstones by using blue sapphires and citrines to indicate the power reserve .
Limited to just 20 units, the watch with a Black Opaline dial is finished with hand-sewn black alligator leather and a double pin 18-carat while gold buckle.
