Diamond Cameo Watch from Harry Winston

The upper layer, the filigree, shows oversized numerals created in Art Nouveau styling. The three seconds hands of silvery tint form the tri-retrograde-function display. The three mother-of-pearl seconds display segments are placed at 6, 10 and 2 o'clock. The hands jump back one after another after 20 seconds to perform a snap back in the most graceful way.The first hand at 6 o'clock jumps back to the right to the starting point after 20 seconds. Moving clockwise, the next seconds hand positioned at 10 o'clock is followed by the third hand featured at 2 o'clock. These two hands perform the same task as the first hand - they seem to be united in a persistent precision dance. There are two hand-engraved supporting elements advantageously setting the seconds hands off, thus drawing more attention to this remarkable mechanical display. Female owners of the timepiece will be able to admire its inner life through the openings in the dial as well as the sapphire crystal window in the case-back.The elegant three-layer dial is revealed through the slightly curved sapphire crystal. A mother-of-pearl layer displays a colorful kaleidoscope. To make possible the tri-retrograde seconds timing, the Milus watchmakers have equipped the timepiece with an automatic Swiss mechanical movement that comprises an exclusive Milus 2828 module. As mentioned above, the complicated movement is visible through the round-shaped sapphire crystal window in the screw-down case-back.
