Opus Grande Princess Watch

Opus Grande Princess Watch is an exquisite timepiece exemplifying the pinnacle of haute horlogerie and jewelry design craftsmanship, distinguished by its innovative integration of significant diamond elements within its mechanical composition. Created by designer Kyoung T. Kim, this masterpiece features an 18-karat white gold construction weighing approximately 200 grams and showcases over 43 carats of meticulously arranged princess and round-cut diamonds. The watch's signature design element comprises four prominent diamonds strategically positioned on the dial, demonstrating exceptional technical prowess in their placement between the watch movement and hands. The timepiece employs multiple sophisticated diamond-setting techniques, including pavé and bezel settings on the face and head, complemented by invisible settings along the band. This horological achievement, which earned the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category in 2013, represents a remarkable fusion of technical complexity and aesthetic refinement. The creation process demanded exceptional precision, particularly in the challenging integration of large diamonds beneath the watch hands, requiring innovative solutions to maintain both functional integrity and visual splendor. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by master artisans, embodying the convergence of traditional watchmaking expertise with contemporary luxury design principles.
