Harry Winston Historie de Tourbillon 10

For the first time, four distinct tourbillons are driven by a single movement train through three separate differentials This piece was conceived by the Harry Winston team and realized through Complitime (Greubel Forsey), who were also involved in the earlier Historie de Tourbillon pieces

Historie de Tourbillon 10 in White Gold.

Limited Edition 10 pieces.

The surface coloring of the HW4702 caliber rounds out the personality of the three versions of Histoire de Tourbillon 10 The unique Winstonium piece can be recognized by its two large blue tourbillon bridges, a color borrowed from the gearwheel bridges inside the case, while the rest of the platinum is completely rhodium-plated The white gold model features rhodium-plated tourbillon bridges and a dark gray platinum.

This shade is repeated on the back of the barrel bridge Finally, the version with the rose gold case inverts its colors in the barrel bridges and features a rhodium-plated platinum

The strap of each Histoire de Tourbillon echoes the various models.

The Winstonium and white gold versions are mounted on alligator leather with large scales and topstitched with a 950 platinum thread And, the pink gold version launches a new bracelet color: black with copper highlights enhanced by topstitching in rose gold thread Elegant, sophisticated touches and a profound attention to the tiniest details allow for a series of truly unique timepieces.

Case, dial and hands

The case is a rectangular shaped case with a case middle in metal of choice, either RG, WG, or platinum The bezel is chamfered, beveled and highly polished and punctuated by 2 notches on either side to break the monotony The bezel is diminutive in size, and features a greater elevation at 6 and 12.

Together with the notches, the raised bezel is a stylistic nod to the Harry Winston arches, a reference to the architecture of the entrance to the iconic Fifth Avenue Showroom.

The massive box crystal allows plenty of light into the dial to showcase the elements of the movement The tourbillons in their cocks rise from the central column like wings, and strikes a very imposing and impressive stance The rather massive 533 mm wide and 391 mm tall dimensions helps

From the center is mounted a piece of sapphire glass which acts like the dial proper.

Its shape is a ring which serves as the hour/minute sub-dial, with bar markers for the hours The crystal extends upwards and downwards through a rectangular extension which carries the enlarged numerals 6 and 12 are engraved

The hands are baton, which are partially skeletonized and the remainder coated with []
