Do you know which Harry Winston watch caught your eye? Was it a piece from the Opus series, or perhaps the Project Z6?

Tongue in cheek, I was hinting an Opus will rush you more than an Aston.
Have a look on YouTube, the engineering in some of the opus models is mind boggling.

Harry Winston’s diamond store on New York’s prestigious Fifth Avenue is one of the most luxurious addresses for jewelry and ornaments. You may not have heard of him but Marilyn Monroe cited Winston in her song ‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend’.
Harry Winston’s expertise in the precious stones field (the Winston house uses only the most valuable stones on earth) gives the brand an untouchable cachet. Again and again Winston has distinguished himself with his spectacular jewelry, e.g. creating for well known royalty such as Queen Elizabeth II and the Shah of Persia. Winston has worked on many world famous diamonds, the Blue Hope for example and the diamond drops which Richard Burton gave to Elizabeth Taylor. Even though Cartier sold these to Burton, Winston cut them.
Even though HW's background is in diamonds, the OPUS series of watches were a collaboration with some of the finest watchmakers in the world today; Greubel Forsey, Felix Baumgartner (Urwerk) and Jean Marc Wiederrecht (MB&F) ... So super high-end stuff!Harry Winston’s expertise in the precious stones field (the Winston house uses only the most valuable stones on earth) gives the brand an untouchable cachet.

There are a couple of Project Z6 watches on Chrono24.com at the moment, both priced between £22-23K. Have a look at 3 of my favourite watch manufacturers before making a potential purchase; JLC, A.Lange & Sohne and Glashutte Original ... Watches start from around £3-4K (except for AL&S!) up to as much as you want to spend
