Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 5

Posted on

Back in 2009 the first Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon was created and now one of the finest pieces within the collection, the 5, has made it debut. Each piece built upon the next release for technical challenges and the brilliance of the movement, as well as the complication and design. While the 4 certainly took things to an entirely new level on both precision and performance, this latest release reveals the truly exceptional mechanism behind this movement.

The brand wanted to really keep the focus on this mechanism, and the execution, so they had to take a new approach and that direction is how this miniature mechanical magnificence was born. The movement had to be completely reorganized, creating levels for the movement, bridges that were laid just below the surfacen and the tri-axial then overseeing it all. Comprised of 381 components, 57 jewels and 21,600 vibrations per hour, this manual winding mechanical masterpiece also has a 50 hour power reserve.

Bovet Amedeo Fleurier 43 Meteorite Watch Review

Posted on

Following in the footsteps of Bovet Amedeo timepieces the new Fleurier 43 Meteorite Watch is a high end luxury item in both design and cost. While it is not the first timepiece of its design it is one of the finest. This dress timepiece allows one to stand out with exclusivity and elegance. The style and design is beautiful and coupled with the in house movement the brand has created another magnificent collection.

There are many pieces on the market that offer similar dials and attributes of this one, but they are not this exact piece. There is a lot more to this piece than the obvious elements that can be found on other brands. The brand ha-styles a history of crafting very ornate pocket timepieces, and most of the other collections offer a ribbon-style crown that sits at the top of the case in order for it to allude the pocket watch look. While the case has a unique design, it is not evident when on the wrist and has a very typical feel on the wrist.
