When I see watches this expensive they're usually hideously unattractive, obscenely extravagant, ostentatious lumps with nothing going for them and have no reason to exist other than an empty show of wealth. This on the other hand, is truly beautiful and exquisite and a masterpiece; something I'll never come close to experiencing, other than in videos like this. Thank you for sharing.

You're so right about those bloated symbols of ostentatious wealth that pass for horological "masterpieces". Sub Dials until the cows come home. Graphic design nightmares for the noveau rich. Sub Mariners inexplicably encrusted with diamonds.

Yes, it is more of a demonstration of human ingenuity. What amused me, however, is the constant promotion of the "eternal calendar." The "eternal calendar" is usually designed for 100 years, exceptionally for 1000 years. This is designed for about 100 years, because the advertisement entices to find the day of the year 2100. There is a simple algorithm behind it, which you can try on paper. The so-called "eternal calendar" has one small drawback - it only entertains for a while, like a similar application on a mobile phone, ie it is not practically usable. But apparently it belongs to the "astrolabe" to which the watch is trying to approach. The watch will find its buyer, who only wants to be different. This is mostly the goal.

I also don't have a spare £300K but if I did this would be on my shopping list. Though personally I'd lose the moon phase complication and show the tourbillon instead simply as they are mesmerising to watch. I have one on a skeleton movement and its great to watch.

It is a nice piece to be sure. Too many complications for my taste. Why does one need a self-winding watch--especially collectors? Few people are active enough, especially while asleep and most of the time the watch is taken off at bedtime. Amazing numbers report "my watch has stopped" when all that's the matter is the self-winding mechanism isn't activated enough to maintain a good power reserve. But I'm off my real point: I see these prices and am incredulous. Assuming 2 years or approximately 4,000 hours of effort to make it, that works out to $75 /hr. Okay, I suppose the watchmaker of the rank of George Daniels can claim such a sum. But he did ALL the work. My bet is that CNC machines were made for several of the parts, cutting down the time considerably. And A. Lange uses them, I'm pretty certain. Now proper polishing takes years of training but when learned it can be performed very efficiently. Dial manufacture is, for Lange, probably automated as well, with finishing done by hand. Of course the machines have to be amortized but I still can't see how prices like 300,000 can be justified. Got to be the result of investors who buy them and lock them up in safes. I know Daniels didn't like this.
