The Perfection of Harry Winston's Project Z11
Belief is in the details
The "Z" in the series name stands for "Zarium™," the alloy used for the case. The "Project Z" series is a limited edition model worthy of its name, as Harry Winston has taken on the challenge of crafting this special alloy, which has primarily been used in the world of aerospace engineering.
The latest model is made with difficult-to-process materials and meticulously crafted with advanced techniques, resulting in an unprecedentedly thin design. The dial, which features a large date display, is inspired by the architecture of New York City, where the company's headquarters are located, and, combined with meticulous decorative finishing, highlights the structural and functional beauty of the watch. The layering of delicate details, with meticulous attention paid to every detail, creates a majestic appearance for this new model.
Even at first glance, many watch enthusiasts will recognize this model as part of the "Project Z" series.

The texture of the iconic case material is what makes it instantly recognizable as a new addition to the series.
Furthermore, the series' common design codes—a wide bezel and lugs with a slight step, a crown guard modeled after the iron gate on the façade of the New York flagship store—and the adoption of the offset dial, a design characteristic of Harry Winston's past, make the Project Z11 even more iconic.
