The hands turn into turntables, and HARRY WINSTON’s epic tourbillon has the blessing of “8”



Play with materials, play with functions, and more importantly, play with creativity. This is not about an independent watchmaking brand, nor is it a traditional brand that started out as a watchmaker. Although it has been established for a long time, its strength lies in jewelry. When it comes to the beauty of the King of Diamonds, Name, HARRY WINSTON Everyone knows Harry Winston. Making watches to make time shine is its main business. It is not surprising that women’s watches are so good. However, after 2000, it actively developed men’s watches and carved its way in the contention of a hundred schools of thought. In 2001, it began to cooperate with the independent watchmaker Crossover. The Opus project, the Project Z series made of zirconium alloy material (Zalium™) in 2004, and the Histoire de Tourbillon, which started specializing in tourbillons in 2009, are unique in playing with materials, creativity and functions. The style makes people look forward to what HARRY WINSTON will do every year.

Watchmaking requires investment, research and development, and recycling. The difficulty of doing business has made everyone more pragmatic and conservative. In the past, easy-to-sell styles and practical functions were more popular, so HARRY WINSTON still has the heart to work on complex functions, year after year. Promoting new watches has become everyone’s hope. Different from the unconstrained style of the Opus series, the Histoire de Tourbillon has a coherent history, with the tourbillon as the core of its development. The bold design is eye-catching, and it is more impressive because of the epic and majestic naming of the series. It is still the same now in the eighth generation. Very interesting.

Continuing the dual tourbillon function of the seventh generation, the eighth generation still leaves the left half of the dial for the performance of two biaxial tourbillons. The so-called biaxial is composed of two tourbillon frames with different speeds, and the inner layer is tilted at 30 degrees. The balance wheel rotates on its axis in 45 seconds, while the outer cage rotates in 75 seconds. Not only that, but the upper and lower biaxial tourbillons look different through different angles. In fact, the structures of the two are exactly the same. Although the multi-axis tourbillon is made by continuously switching the position of the frame to reduce the gravity of the gravity. It has a vertical influence, but the reason why the tourbillon attracts everyone's attention is its graceful rotating posture. The two bi-axial tourbillons are dragging on the dial, and the eye-catching skills are what makes everyone hooked.

There is a differential gear in the middle of the dial, which is mainly used to coordinate the travel speed so that the clockwork power can be distributed and transmitted to the two tourbillons at an even speed to achieve better performance. In the seventh generation, such a key component could only be seen on the dial, while in the eighth generation, the large machine board was hollowed out, and you can still appreciate the beauty of the engagement when you turn to the back of the watch.

As for the travel time display, it is another major feature of the Epic Tourbillon 8. The seventh-generation eccentric display is changed into two conical discs made of aluminum alloy, with red triangular arrows indicating the hours. When the dual-axis tourbillon on the left Up and down dance together at the same time. The hour and minute dial on the right moves to show the time. The two sides of the dial not only show the visual axial symmetry, but also show the dynamic beauty of the rhythm. The time moves just right, and two sets of 8 figures are formed on the dial, echoing Not to mention the eighth generation of the epic tourbillon, it also gives another meaning to the good omen of the East and the infinity of the West.
