Very exclusive, especially the OPUS range.

Some very cool pieces but lacking in any horological heritage for me.

I handled a $238K HW and it was very interesting, but totally outrageously out of my price range...most people that buy those just put them in a safe and never wear them.

I think they are expensive, that's pretty much it
I would spend my watch money elsewhere (not that I am at a position for that price segment) But I guess if all friends are wearing AP and Hublot, and you need something different and expensive ...

I really like some of them but needs to be bought at the right price.

HW is a jeweler not a watchmaker.

Lack of heritage and short history of producing timepieces equals not a watchmaker in my book. I could hire a trained watchmaker, slap my name on the face but I still wouldn't be a watchmaker. I have the same issue with HW watches that I do with the Ralph Lauren watches. RL is a fashion company who decided to capitalize on the high end watch market. Do you consider RL a watchmaker? I didn't think so. |

"We have written of the Opus line in the past, but for those not in the know Opus is essentially a distinct line of Harry Winston timepieces which have been created in a collaborative partnership between Harry Winston and many of modern Horology’s most talented independent watch makers."
Pretty much sums it up. |
