A musical indication of time infuses timepieces with an additional touch of emotion while raising the technical level of these tiny mechanical treasures. With its double limited edition of the Midnight Minute Repeater, Harry Winston also heightens the visual pleasure of the wearer by creating an original setting for this noble complication. Like an orchestra visible in the pit at the foot of a concert stage, the ‘instruments’ represented by the hammers and part of the mechanism are revealed on either side of the excentred hours and minutes dial. Their activation and performance of the repeater tune ringing out from the steel circular gongs lend a fascinating tempo to the melodious chime of the hours, quarters and minutes. The spiral shapes of the gongs lead the eye through the nested circles composing the dial. The letters H and W subtly adorn the musical hammers, while the tantalising glimpses of the 369-part movement are exquisitely framed by the warm glow of a red gold case or the shining radiance of the white version.
