World's most complicated watch

[VMSRTI]

I know there are a few watch enthusiasts on here that may be interested in this.

Vacheron Constantin has created a watch with 57 complications. Previous best was 33!
Remarkable!

Holy ****!

Barely counts as a watch even a pocket watch, at that size, though.

Pure art and it probably costs the same as a house

Um, depends on the house. Actually costs MORE than most houses

 

[Mr.Cambio]

oh my...That is art.

Lovely but maybe a tad over engineered ?

Complications for the sake of complications? Amazing though all the same

Somebody should have told him you can do all that with a smartphone these days

DOH.....!!


a remarkable piece of engineering but in all honesty, I could not call it a watch at that size it is nearer a mantle clock!

Just because you can doesn't mean you should , 5 million dollars and utterly useless, not really the sort of thing you'd carry around is it

Demonstrates remarkable skill and I admire, but in the end not much point
A bit like the Lotus Exige (I am ready for the battering!)

It doesn't say how good is the camera is.

Surely it has 57 uses, no?!

 

[safrane]

I admire a nice watch but thats just daft...and $5millions!

 

[Wack61]

True, 57 uses in a bank vault, seems a long way to go to see what day it is in Hebrew though

I've always wanted a watch with a traditional 19-year Metonic lunisolar cycle*i'm sick of the detomaso one I picked up off ebay for £26.
