With the release of the Opus 11, which by the way is EFFIN MINDBLOWING, I got a chance to google some of their past pieces starting with 1...

I know that Harry Winston is known more as a jeweler per say but I'll have to admit that their Opus series and the people they've collaborated with in the past is superb! Talk about an ALL STAR TEAM!

You have FP Journe himself with Opus 1, Antoine Preziuso for Opus 2, Vianny Halter for Opus 3, Christophe Claret for Opus 4 (maker of the blackjack watch), Felix Baumgartner of URWERK for 5, Greubel and Forsey together for 6, Andreas Strehler for 7, Frederic Garinaud for 8, Eric Giroud and Jean Marc Wiederrecht for 9, Jean Francois Mojon for 10 and Denis Giguet for 11... Not to mention that the entire Harry Winston timepiece line was managed by Maximillian Busser or the MB in MB&F before...

I'll have to admit nearing the end of the series I haven't heard about these dudes, but nevertheless the Opus series pieces are in constant evolution and all of the pieces all have individual artistic touches to them... for example look at number 5 and you'll know what I mean...



11 is hands down the best yet so far...

Great mechanics, but the head looks like mickey mouse turned to the side.
