It's AMAZING !!

i just think it's an amazing debate and i am very praise about that.

could You imagine that 7 years before i was in aircraft engineering, and 5 years before now i made the first  tourbillon on carbon plate for Richard Mille !
at this time i couldn't think that one day i would make such debate in watchworld.

Do you know that since the Rm009 light, i ever made fanciful project ? the most , except OPUS 8, was the RM012 tubes, i would, this time transform the traditionnal skeleton in a new futurist way..

Not so long ago, an enchanting woman  who works for press, said me:

Frédéric, if U want to make money, do always traditionnal watch and work
if U want to stay like u are, a maverick and magician child, continue to make fantaisist watch just to hurt hearth of people.

in fact i love watchmaking just to give people some emotions.
Perhaps somebody loves, perhaps someother hates. No matter
There are too much brands in watchworld now, and many put complications in their watch just to make money, what a pity !

You know my tag line ?
                                              LA COMPLICATION AU SERVICE DE L'EMOTION


i am not a serious guy, i am not a strict man, i am not watchmakers, i am not designers, i am not a mysterious guy, somebody says that i am all at the same time. perhaps.... i am just a big child and i love that.

Now, about HARRY WINSTON and OPUS (1..2.3...4...5..6..7... 8 ), i think that many subjetcs or debates in many forum are puerile, perhaps that some peolpe have frustation or a flak but i think that it's very unhealthy !

Now just to answer about complications of OPUS 8

1 armage de répétition minutes ( avec système de compression par rateaux et ressorts )
1 rouage auxiliaire avec volant régulateur
1 système de disques avec combinaisons de pin's pour activer les unités d'heures sur 12h et l'AM/PM sur 24H
1 système combiné au disques, pour activer les dizaines d'heures
1 minutes rétrogrades de 5 en 5
1 sous système rattrapage de temps avec spiral

1 nouveau mouvement 3Hz avec réglages des heures / minutes / am-pm sur disques
porte échappement avec balancier vis réglantes

someone makes do with a tourbillon in a standard movement and a new design,  i could'nt put complication just to see complication, i prefer combine, mix, adjust mechanic systèms to give one new function.

In final, do You know that OPUS 8 is a concept ?
or would You think that it's an UPSET of Watchmaking ? ;-)
Nooooooooo just a concept, just an emotion from my childhood.

And Thank You to Harry Winston, thank you every body to be optimist and enjoy in this luxury - world !!


Ps : i hate when peolpe says Mr.GARINAUD...lol
 Frédéric or Garinaud it's better, thank's
