The Opus 8 watch with pin-art display
The Di Grisogono Meccanica DG watch blew us away with it’s mechanical-digital display, now the Opus 8 watch by Harry Winston is turning things upside down as well. The DG used mechanical tubes to display the time, while the Opus 8 uses a complicated system of mechanical pixels that rise up from the display when the user hits a button on the side.

That would be cool enough, but there’s more. The back of the watch sports a design that looks like a printed circuit that functions as a second time display. AM and PM are featured on the left, hours and minutes in the center, while the power reserve indicator is on the right. What you have here is a cool looking retro watch, with retro attitude. But don’t get your hopes up. The series is limited to 50 watches and it’s likely that they were sold out before the unveiling even happened.
