It’s the Baselworld watch and jewelery tradeshow this week in the city of Basel, Switzerland so expect an influx of news about new wrist bling for the next little while. Our first story, the Opus 9 from Harry Winston. The watch will have a number of diamonds that are as functional for time telling as they are decorative. Replacing the traditional watch hands and cyclical dial, time is displayed by two parallel diamond chains, for hours and minutes. Keeping with Harry Winston’s signature shape, each chain is adorned with 33 baguette-cut diamonds. Other features: it’s an automatic self-winding watch using a chain system, power reserve of 72 hours and water resistant up to 30 meters. Opus 9 is a limited edition with only 100 of them being made.
