Harry Winston Launches Creative New Timepiece for Project Z

Since the Swatch Group acquired Harry Winston in 2013, it has reinforced the brand's heritage as a purveyor of important diamonds, introducing lavishly set ladies' watches and acquiring a 101.73-carat, D-flawless diamond for $26.7-million, which it christened the Winston Legacy The Project Z watch collection is a reminder of the company's more recent history as a pioneer of avant-garde watch design Zalium is a zirconium-aluminum alloy proprietary to Harry Winston.

As the name also suggests, the Z12 is the 12th in the series of Project Z watches, all with Zalium cases The watch is a concentric bi-retrograde with two scales-one for hours on the upper dial and one for minutes on the lower dial separated by a large bridge The arched blue bridge that straddles the central axis of the dial is meant to evoke the bridges of Manhattan which inspired Harry Winston's life and work.

The watch is highly readable once you adjust to the unconventional method of reading the time. . Source
