BY THEODORE DIEHL
 This
year Harry Winston presented a new watch before the unveiling of the
current Opus 5 that will be presented at Baselworld 2005. The new creation
is a tourbillon designed in collaboration with the highly talented English
master watchmaker Peter Speake-Marin, and the watch will join the ranks of
the Excenter series. Not surprisingly, the watch has various
characteristics inspired by early English horology-although it remains a
thoroughly Swiss product.
Working
from his shop in the scenic village of Rolle just off Switzerland's
A1 between Geneva and Lausanne on the shores of Lake Leman, Peter has spent
most of the last year and a half working on this project in secret, before
it finally took shape under the auspices of Harry Winston.
