IWC Novelties Grand Complication


Further novelties of IWC are the Grand Complication, those are less still nothing than a sensation: and, like a always-lasting calendar for the next 500 years just like eternal Mondphase announcement from polished gold clay/tone, those shows 659 mechanical parts (71 of them jewel camp) and 21 functions the star only night sky. No surprise is to be experienced that only 50 copies of this clock are each year manufactured.

Work inside the 42,2-Millimeter Grande Complication is a Chronograph and a very complex minute of Repeater rammer. The invention bell play from the time, into crystal-clear tones, by a foil on the left side the case is activated. Two small, measuring, tax, the hammers strike two gongs at the end of each hour, quarter of hour and minute.
