Deconstruction with a view to reconstruction. The new Opus Eleven by Harry Winston radiates a distinctly Dadaist soul. In a sudden burst of components, the hours are reborn from chaos every 60 minutes thanks to 24 mobile pallets which spring to life and turn according to a complex satellite mechanism. The minutes are displayed on two overlapping discs at 2 o’clock, while an opening at 4 o’clock reveals glimpses of its beating heart. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the Midnight Big Date displays an understated elegance and reassuring simplicity. 42 mm of aesthetics perfectly mastered right down to the smallest details and displaying luxury like a promise of eternity.
