Ok, so I’ve been obsessed with crazy, high-end watches lately. I’m not sure if it’s the jewelry aspect of them, the mechanical aspect of them or a mix of both. This really has my attention at the moment: $275,000 is a little steep though. Any comments or insight would be greatly appreciated as well as names of other ultra-complicated timepieces. ---

Check out mechanical repeaters. Ultra awesome and rare complication. ---

Sorry for the repost then, that minute repeater is pretty effin sweet. I’m not sure how much I would like a watch that chimed though. ---

It only chimes when you want it to. Originally, the repeater was designed so that you could tell what time it was in the dark. Before artificial lights. ---

Repeaters and retrograding minute/hour/second functions are the coolest things to me. I’m not super impressed with tb’s. ---

Agreed, although the Gyrotourbillon it pretty cool as well as the Zenith Zero-G watches. Also, the Girrard Perregaux 1945 series has a watch with a built in slot machine that actually works, though that was a pretty cool yet useless feature. ---

Yeah, I thought the twin turbine shock absorbers for the winding movement were pretty damn cool. ---

The Freak is effing sick, there are a couple of them for sale on timezone for $42-45K. They are very cool but a little hard to read for me. I do, however, have my eye on a certain Big Bang…
