Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon 1

Priced roughly the same as a high-end sportscar, this mechanical wonder from Jaeger-LeCoultre may not be as loud as a car but is probably more complex. Imagine fitting 679 parts and 177 jewels into a 43mm wide and 15mm thick platinum case. Not only are there more parts in this watch, but those parts need to be in perfect harmony with each other. The Gyrotourbillon 1 from Jaeger-LeCoultre is so complex and so difficult to manufacture that only 75 pieces were ever made. If you’ve got the cash, you can snap this one from SoKoBe with a 20% discount. You won’t get a watch, you’ll get an absolute work of art, a display of man’s brilliance and ingenuity. Complications include the gyrotourbillon cage, a perpetual calendar, power reserve, month, date, and of course, the hours and minutes. $340,000.
