Glad that Vacheron Constantin had such a dedicated patron of the horological arts. Without Mr. Berkley this incredible mechanical marvel and its previous monumental miniature mechanism, both examples showing the skills and capabilities of humans and the human hand.
Seen this masterpiece at watches and wonders then had a private viewing of the new overseas collection (Stunning)The staff at vacheron are super friendly ❤saving now to add a vacheron to my collection.
We wouldn't know exactly, and believe it, we asked ;) But VC respects their client to the point of not mentioning a price. But it's a LOT, that much is certain.
It depens what you call 'easy'. The front of the watch (closed dial, Chinese symbols) shows a regulator-style display for the hours, minutes and seconds. The top subdial, with the gold Roman numerals is for the hours, the largest of the three blued central hands is for the minutes, and the blued hand in the bottom subdial is for the seconds. All have their own scale to exactly tell you what time it is. If it's easy or not, is up to you. To us, given the utter complexity of the watch and the amount of displays and indications, it's not too bad!
Actually, that brings up an interesting point. I wonder just how much spring energy needs to be stored in this watch in order to keep all the functions going? It would be awfully silly to have to keep the watch hooked up to an external winder for it to keep time. On the other hand, if an Apple Watch had 63 apps running in the background without communicating with an iPhone to run code, how long would its battery actually last?
hey . the word should be "complex" not complicated . completed is a synonym to deteriorated or detriment , the word "complex" on the other hand means - intricate , puzzling or constituting of myriad of components . cheers @georges_angeles

Great achievement and perfect way for the brand to show to the world that it deserves its place in the top level!
I own 7 of these, i cant get enough of it.

Let's hope it doesn't require a full service every 5 years!
Amazing engineering!
Peak watch making. Congratulations VC.
Figuring out how to pay for the servicing fee must also be complicated.
People that can afford watches like this are likely to have the funds for servicing it as well ;)
this is mind blowing.
After years of effort and seen the amount of money that we can get from them…
World is changing guys, world has changed!
That’s nuts
I can't be the only person curious to know how much this cost. 10 million Euros? Am i close?
I'd guess less. The Patek 5175R was 2.5M.
@@Enrico- It's around 10 million

Much more complicated than Patek, Philippe, 5175R
Who is the main designer?
I want to see the real thing in person. It is a mechanical show piece and a high end watch art.
appreciating this only makes me appreciate...smartwatches even more.
How long before mechanical watches develop an internet complication ;)
Does it tell the time in an easy way, or is it just to show how complex mechanical watches can get?
Well, it’s not digital, so those who can’t read analog clocks will definitely have a hard time.

That's a tuna can, not a watch
Or a doorstop... mighty complicated doorstop, but yes, it is rather large overall!!
오버홀 비용이 일억정도 되지 않을까
Potentially, but someone who can afford this watch can probably afford servicing it as well ;)
เรียกเก็บรางวัลใด้ตู้ม้าแข่งครับขอบคุณ😊
How do you actually service such a piece?
Carefully and at great expense😊
Send it back to VC and be very patient ;)
My Apple Watch has more complications.
