In 2001, Harry Winston introduced the ground-breaking Opus Series, creating innovative timepiece in partnership with various horologists. The collaboration of the atelier with avant-garde horologists defies convention and pushes boundaries of horological innovation, thus creating series of watches that are unprecedented in watchmaking industry. Unveiled at the 2005 Baselworld, the Opus 5 was created by Harry Winstons’s Rare Timepieces division and Felix Baumgartner of Urwerk to show teamwork and cooperation can lead to greater potential. The watch features an off-center movement with “satellite hour” display reminiscent of the “wandering hour” displays found in some early pocket watches. This consisted of a semi-circular opening around which the minutes 0 to 60 were marked and an aperture to indicate the hours. In the “satellite hour” display of the Opus V, there are 3 separate blocks, carrying 4 numerals each, which indicate the hour while spinning around two axes.

Produced in a limited edition of 100 pieces, there are only 45 examples in platinum.  From its conception to its inception, the design and production of Opus V are unlike other timepieces and result in a luxury timepiece in a league of its own.
