The new year just begins and the watch world welcomes a watch that regards itself and is considered by many as another most complicated watch on this planet. It is the fourth member of the highly complex Franck Muller Aeternitas collection. Different people have different opinions on the looking of the watches in the collection.
Franck Fuller has been headached for the financial problem for quite a time but it is managing to finish this extremely complicated watch. By far, the brand has not disclosed how many pieces they will launch. But I am sure this watch will be exclusively limited considering its complexity. Anyway, the first model was already finished and presented to an American collector.
Beating inside the watch is a huge 36 complications. As the picture below shows the various functions of the watch, I am not going to list them here again. If you are interested, check them yourself.
Inside are a whopping 36 complications! I am not going to list them all here, but you can consult with the image in the gallery below for a spec sheet of the various functions that it has. And you know thie movement is composed of 1,483 parts. Incredible! It is said that it takes five years to design the complex movement. The dial of guilloche pattern displays 25 of the 36 complications. And part of the functions are a monopusher split-second chronograph, a 1000 year calendar, very accurate equation of time, complex sonnerie chiming functions, multiple timezones, moon phase indicator. Of course there are more. Busy though, the dial is very intriguing to look at.
Now, I have no ideals about the watch materials and the case size. But the case must be huge. And I think the biggest competitor to the Aeternitas Mega 4 watch is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie watch that has 25 complications. The latter is , personally, much eye-pleasant and less expensive. The former asks for $2.7 million
