Opus X

It seems to be a Harry Winston kind of week.

Now my significant other has actually written about the other opus models but today I will.

I choose the Opus x to start of with.

I actually made up my mind while writting this that I will write about every single Opus model until the release of the Opus XIIII which I will of course review and then end the Opus saga for now.

Ok now back to the Opus X

The Opus X was made in a very limited amount only 100 pieces have been made.

The Opus series as of now has 13 different models

With a power reserve of 72 hours

46 mm case in White Gold

Displays Hours,Minutes, and Seconds using Modules

There is also a 24 hour rotation 

This timepiece is very beautiful and intricate 

On the back of the Opus X you have a see through case, a power reserve display and an inside look to the movement.

Harry Winston has marveled the entire world with the Opus collection 

They did that yet again with the elegant Opus X the beautiful module display makes this timepiece very appealing, not to mention the complication that goes behind there timepiece.

Harry Winston Withstands Mike Tyson

Sorry I haven't had time to post the last few days.

But I do have something nice to start off today.

I got a chance to visit Swiss Watchmakers & Co. 

I've gone there a few times either to have a timepiece fixed or just to see if they have a nice timepiece for me to review.

I have to admit these are very friendly and professional people, just the fact that they let me bug them while they work is very kind.

Not to mention that they share my posts on Facebook and Linkedin.

When I went they had a Harry Winston that seemed to have gone through a fight with Mike Tyson

I went back a few weeks later and they had already finished the timepiece.

A few weeks to complete a Harry Winston in mist of other repairs, that had to be some kind of record because from what I know Harry Winston takes 2+ months.

Well anyhow they told me that the client wanted full service and a matching strap.

Now the watch needed to be "cleansed" before being sent out and I couldn't touch it after that.

But I did get a shot prior to that and the timepiece looks stunning.

Well anyhow that's the first post for today I'll make a few more as the day progresses.

Beautiful Ballon Bleu de Cartier

I apologize for not posting on Valentine's day. I do apologize for that. 

To make it up to you guys, here is my Saturday/weekend blog post! 

This Ballon Bleu de Cartier is the perfect Valentine's day gift. On this Ballon Bleu, it has an 18K rose (pink) gold case (36.6 mm in diameter, 12.05 mm thick), an 18K gold bracelet, and a rose (pink) gold fluted crown. Along with many other Ballon Bleu de Cartier models, this timepiece has a crown set with a blue sapphire cabochon. 

It has a sapphire crystal with a silver opaline dial. The dial includes Roman numerals and it has sword-shaped blued-steel hands.

Guilloché and lacquered.

It has a mechanical movement with automatic winding Cartier caliber 076.

This Cartier is water resistant to 30 m or 100 feet.

Here is another appealing Ballon Bleu de Cartier with a crown set with a blue sapphire cabochon and a date window where the number 3 would be. Beautiful, no?

When ordering this watch on the Cartier website, you can make adjustments and choose your preferred Ballon Bleu de Cartier which I really like. 

I adore this Cartier, it really looks spectacular.

Play Poker On Your Wrist

Christophe Claret-Poker

Yes this watch gives you your time but you can also play poker on it.

Users can immerse themselves in real three-player games of the most popular variant of poker: Texas Hold’em. The challenge was incorporating a complete 52-card game following the rules of poker, with a large number of gameplay possibilities, all together in a mechanical movement. In total, Poker packs in 32,768 different combinations, i.e. 98,304 combinations for three players. The probabilities were calculated so that each player has approximately the same chances of winning. Two pushers activate the deals at each round of betting, including the flop, the turn and the river. On the dial, three windows present each player’s cards, invisible to the other players thanks to a special blinds system that conceal each hand from other players. True to his mastery of chiming watches, Christophe Claret has equipped Poker with a cathedral gong, which sounds each time a pusher is activated.

72 Jewels are in the movement.
