Switzerland is the leader in the production of mechanical watches. The local company "Vacheron Constantin" has produced the most complicated chronograph.

This is the Reference 57260 watch, which has 57 different functions.

In addition, the watch amazes with the number of details. In total, the device contains 2826 small parts!

There is no talk of serial production of the device. They were released for a private collection.

The customer and buyer were an unknown collector who put forward certain demands.

The result is a clock that makes no sound from 10pm to 8am.

The dial displays not only the time and date, but also day and night indicators, a sky diagram and many other indicators.

For an untrained person, looking at the dial of such a watch would be equivalent to looking at the instrument panel of an airplane.

It is also worth noting that the case of the Reference 57260 is made of 18-carat gold.

And the cost of the chronograph reaches 10 million dollars.

Until recently, the record belonged to a device that the craftsmen equipped with 33 options.

It was a Patek Phillipe watch released in 1989.
