The Histoire de Tourbillon 2 from Harry Winston is an extraordinary piece of haute horology. Powered by a mechanical hand-wound movement, Histoire de Tourbillon 2 showcases the supreme complication in a setting worthy of its stature. The intricate structure of the amazing bi-axial fying tourbillon immediately catches the eye. The tourbillon consists of 95 individual parts. The hour is displayed in a retrograde scale at 9 o'clock, while minutes are shown in a disc at 6 oclock, and seconds on a disc via the tourbillon. On the front side of the watch are five unique pieces of sapphire crystal, and on the back, three more. Launched in 2011, Histoire de Tourbillon 2 has been produced in 20 examples only and will most defnitely gather the interest of collectors worldwide.
