Harry Winston adds Z5 to Project Z series

The latest to hit the retail shelves, from the collection of Harry Winston Timepieces is the Z5, the next evolution in the prestigious Project Z Series. The uniqueness about this watch is that it is the first ever to have a two tourbillon mechanism and two time zones, displayed at one single point in time. The Z5 is a practical design for those who travel frequently, while its unique mechanism tells of the tech savvy.

The tourbillon mechanism (automatic) is displayed at 6 o’clock. The Harry Winston’s master watchmakers have added a new challenge to the Z5, with a double time zone - the first is for the reference city and is placed off-centre at 2 o’clock, while the second, smaller time zone – for the visited city – is at 9 o’clock. A jumping display, in French, contains names of 24 worldwide cities corresponding to each of the 24 time zones.

The hour and the city can simultaneously be adjusted by simply turning the crown. The Z5 represents the next phase of Harry Winston’s exclusive Project Z series. For the fifth time, the tourbillon is held in a Zalium case, a material unique to Harry Winston haute horlogerie. The vertical guillochage of the dial reflects the elegance and codified beauty of the watch. A choice of leather or rubber strap features an embossed, stylised three-bladed shuriken design – a concealable Ninja throwing weapon -- the mobile symbol of Project Z watches.

The watch is priced at INR 57,20,000/- and has jewel bearings of 34 rubies.
