Possibly a little outside of most of our price-ranges, but too fantastic not to post here -

An 11 (yes, eleven) barrel tourbillon with a 50 (yes, fifty!) day power reserve! Utterly crazy watchmaking (and I mean that in a very VERY good way)! :thumbsup:

That's a crazy looking watch but very cool technology.

It is getting into the realms of 'just for the sake of it' like the Antikythera Sun Moon that they also just announced, but it is a fantastic achievement.

Stunningly incredible and different but somewhat ugly for me. Kudos to the watchmakers though!

Definitely something different from them. Reminds me of those urewerk pieces.

:yeahthat

Spot on Tim. TAG did it better with the Monaco a few years ago. All that belt drive & pulleys stuff was very imaginative. I think this one is a bit too dinky though. Just imagine trying to read the thing and the embarrassment of hauling round a V12 strapped to your wrist! I wouldn't wear it as its kind of, well, kind of naïve. :geek:

Perhaps the designers need to get out a bit more. 8)

I will admit, pretty cool movement. Did anyone see the "gun" used to wind the watch?
