Did you know watches had complications? Sometimes many. I saw an ad for a watch that had a bunch, PLUS:
Tourbillon movement
Glycydur balance wheel with two arms
Skeletonized titanium baseplate
Anticorodal Pb109 aluminum
Fast rotating barrel
Barrel pawl with progressive recoil
A translucent composite case injected with carbon nanotubes
Torque limiting crown
Wire-drawn and microblasted surfaces
Free sprung balance with variable inertia
And it can be yours for a mere $700,000!
The Timex my father gave me for High School graduation didn't have complications - it just kept going and going, as the ads of the day promised.
But if you want to spend $700,000 instead of $12.95 on your watch, expect complications.
