Project Z3 for men - next step made by Harry Winston

March 12th, 2006

Proof that the strong concepts are declined to perfection, Project Z3 enriches by quite beautiful way the pallet of expression of the Ocean collection. The innovation is declined here in two versions - the Vintage Spirit and the Sport Spirit -, both sheltering a movement swirl with the posting of the hours/minutes decentred with 12h, developed by Peter Speake-Sailor. Bench on the edges of Leman, this young British clock making Master already collaborated with Harry Winston, in particular with the development of Excenter Tourbillon. Specialist in the complicated movements, it is famous for his expertise and his direction on the completion. The Spirit Sport This version plus sport of Project Z3 posts a dial decorated with famous Cotes of Geneva of which the color major black, almost animal and mysterious, contrast with the glare of the steel bridges, on each side of the cage of the swirl. The figures and the needles, in blue Superluminova, confirm the vocation of this guard.
The second characteristic has only thus far been used on the world’s most complicated watches: the carriage rotation system is located inside the carriage itself, thereby providing this micro-mechanical marvel with greater shock-resistance and enhanced regularity. This regularity is reinforced by a higher than average cadence of 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensuring a superlative degree of precision.
The transparent case-back enables one to admire the movement in all its intricacy, particularly the oscillating weight with its Z-shaped cut-out that emphasizes the unique character of the model.
A rare watch by nature, the Z3 is equally rare in terms of production, since it is issued in a limited and one shot series of 50 pieces per version.
