Lange & Sohne creates most complicated watch the Grand Complication

Different watch makers have differing specifications for what is called a grand complication. Simply put a “grand complication” is an extraordinary watch that does some amazing things from a high end brand and is very, very, expensive.

A specific watch has a grande and petite sonnerie, a minute repeater, a split-seconds monopusher chronograph along with a fly back seconds and a minutes register, AND a perpetual calendar with moonphase indicator. Phew. That seems to be a grand complication.

The watch is The A. Lange & Söhne Grand Complication, a watch so precise, so complex, so detailed that only six of them have been made. The watch even has a perpetual calendar and can tell you the phases of the moon. Looking for a Lange & Sohne Boca Raton?

The watches, all produced in pink gold cases have a monopusher split-seconds chronograph that is accurate to 1/5th of a second. Wives who are traditionally late will probably not want to buy their husbands this way too accurate timepiece. Can you imagine, being 4/5ths of a second late?

Of course these watches are not created or intended for the average user. There are created for an increasingly growing niche of high end clients who collect such watches. With only six of these timepieces being created, these will definitely be a top shelf item. There may be cheaper ways to tell time, but there is apparently no price that can be placed on be within 1/5 of one second on time.
