Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 3

Harry Winston just opened the third act in the Histoire de Tourbillon saga launched in 2009 - the brand new Histoire de Tourbillon 3. The new watch is offered in a truly limited edition of only 20 exemplars and it features no less than three tourbillons in action. Each one of them rotates at its own pace and accomplishes its own gravity-defying effect.

At 9 o'clock is the bi-axial double tourbillon, formed by nesting one tourbillon inside of the other, whose outer tourbillon makes a complete revolution in 120 seconds whereas the inner tourbillon completes the revolution 40 seconds. At 6 o'clock, a single-axis tourbillon rotates in 36 seconds.

Hours and minutes are displayed on two separate counters or, more precisely, rotating discs. Power reserve indicator is featured at the lower right corner, showing the amount of remaining stored energy to up to 50 hours. The watch is powered by hand-wound mechanical movement composed of 479 individual components and nested in polished and satin-brushed 18-carat case made of white gold. The caseband is made in Zalium, which is an alloy of aluminium and zirconium – a trademark of Harry Winston brand first used in the Project Z series of wristwatches.
