Set to be acquired by Switzerland’s biggest watch maker Swatch Group for about $1 billion, the jeweler to the stars and producers of luxury watches Harry Winston has now introduced the Histoire de Tourbillon 4 watch, one of the most highly refined mechanical timekeepers ever made. Described to be the fourth series in Harry Winston’s exploration of the tourbillon, it features a tri-axial tourbillon ensuring superb performance and split-second accuracy. Further, the multi-level arrangements of domed sapphire crystals and intricately interlocked mechanisms suggest a miniature mechanical metropolis, truly a utopian dream of horological perfection. Harry Winston, which is also famous for donating the Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, has earlier impressed the horological world with the aesthetically surprising creation Opus 12 watch which was designed to change the perception of time, and the Midnight GMT Tourbillon Watch, to name a few.

Dubbed as Spacecraft, it’s described to be RJ-Romain Jerome’s first-ever pilot’s watch which actually stems from the joint endeavors of Eric Giroud, Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, and Manuel Emch, and impressively features a complication with its own discreet charm, combined with a pure, restrained design. This 99-piece limited edition timepiece with a rectilinear profile boasting retro-futuristic aesthetics has been especially designed to delight the devotees of ultra-complicated watches with horological complexities and original products, and for the space pilots of the world to carry them off on an intergalactic mission to explore uncharted territories.
