The Excenter Perpetual Calendar Celebrates 20th Anniversary – The renaissance of Harry Winston’s first watch
The Excenter Perpetual Calendar, the first timepiece created by Harry Winston, has undergone its first design makeover since its introduction in 1987. The iconic three-arch Harry Winston watch-case, crafted in white gold, is sleeker and slightly larger at 41mm, and the trademark Excenter dial is more streamlined and clear. The face presents the moon phases and leap-year cycle as planets eclipsing the chapters of the hours and months. The movement has been upgraded with new retrograde mechanisms to operate the date and month functions. The moon, floating in its constellation of stars, has been designed to wax and wane in a circular aperture. The second time zone is set by the crown and indicated by a colored hand.
The lightly engine-turned anthracite or silvered dial creates a moiré or watered-silk effect and a contrast with the chapter rings in order to ensure that the indicators are absolutely clear.
