Project Z5: the next evolution of the Project Z series by Harry Winston

August 2008


Elegant form meets multiple functions in the Z5, the next evolution in the prestigious Project Z Series by Harry Winston Timepieces. Bringing together for the first time a tourbillon mechanism and two time zones, the Z5 caters to men who frequently travel, as well as also to those who are in tune with the world. Capturing the distinct, sporty character of the watch, the marvelous complication, the tourbillon mechanism (automatic), is displayed at 6 o’clock.

With the Z5, Harry Winston’s master watchmakers have added a new challenge with the inclusion of a double time zone.
The first time zone – for the reference city – is placed off-centre at 2 o’clock, while the second, smaller time zone – for the visited city – is at 9 o’clock. A jumping display, in French, contains names of 24 worldwide cities corresponding to each of the 24 time zones. Further displaying the expertise in craftsmanship, the creators of the Z5 have gone one step further by simplifying the handling of this complication – the hour and the city can simultaneously be adjusted by simply turning the crown.

A brilliant new demonstration of the company's innovative and expert watch making, the Z5 represents the next phase of Harry Winston’s exclusive Project Z series. For the fifth time, the tourbillon is held in a Zalium case, a material fashioned by the company and unique to Harry Winston haute horlogerie. The vertical guillochage of the dial reflects the elegance and codified beauty of the watch. A choice of leather or rubber strap features an embossed, stylized three-bladed shuriken design – a concealable Ninja throwing weapon — the mobile symbol of Project Z watches.
