Fun fact: this watch took eight years to design and make by three different watch makers, 10 patents were filed in the process of making it work, the design drawings in total weigh 16 kg, 85 prototypes were made (that were all functioning watches on their own), and the project cost millions of dollars.

I'm glad that we still have collectors willing to commission pieces like this. Amazing.

I would _like_ your comment, but the _likes_ number is the answer... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had to stop the video some 5-6 times simply to read all the complications.

All I can say is that I am breathless. Man can never compete with nature as far as micro-miniaturisation , but these ingenious people are having a go. When young I was in a team in a drawing office of Chatham Dockyard putting together the proposal drawings to build submarines. When there is little room to play with, coordination with other people is of utmost necessity. I can say that the team who planned this marvellous piece of engineering had many sleepless nights. Congratulations , there are so many intelligences necessary to make such a masterpiece.

That is simply jaw-dropping incredible...I hope there is going to be a much longer documentary film on this watch where we can see the interior movement in detail and perhaps have the engineers who worked on it interviewed....nonetheless this was a great video and thank you for showing us this historic piece.Just amazing.....PS It may be slightly crass to ask but I'm just curious as to how much this must've cost this collector in the end....8 years is a long time to have three engineers dedicated to this one project,so obviously,it must be astronomically high.Can you imagine if this ever sent up for auction what it would fetch?

Wow, this watch(I mean this art piece, engineering miracle, and mechanical beauty) makes Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime look like a toy. Deep respect for the developers.

Outstanding achievement

THAT’S FREAKING INSANE!!! It’s, like, EVERY COMPLICATION IN EXISTENCE (plus some brand new ones) IN ONE WATCH!!! Here’s a summary: Dual time zones An alarm that can play literally any chime you can think of (Westminster, Grand/Petite Sonnerie, regular single-gong strike) Hourly (and possibly quarter-hourly too) striking with Westminster or Grand/Petite Sonnerie Minute repeater 3-column wheel chronograph with split seconds (two second hands) Full-fledged Gregorian perpetual calendar Full-fledged Hebrew perpetual calendar Full-fledged astronomical perpetual calendar (including sunrise, sunset, night length, day length, moon phases, equation of time, and a whole lot more) Yom Kippur date indication Dual power reserve indicators Hand adjustment system Pop-out crown for winding the alarm mechanism And that’s just a small fraction of what this thing is capable of!

Amazing
