The Million Pound Watch,

it is a Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 Quadriptyque, 

photographs Jaeger-LeCoultre, it is not only the most complicated Reverso ever made, it is one of the most complicated watches Jaeger-LeCoultre has ever made, period – by the company's count, a total of 11 complications, 

it was originally launched in 2021, 


a little about the movement: Hand-wound JLC Calibre 185, running at 28,800 vph; power reserve, 50 hours. Presented in a box with integrated corrector mechanism, which allows the owner to input the number of days since the watch was last worn in order to bring all indications up to date, including the lunar displays,

about the watch, 
Face 1: Time, one-minute tourbillon, instantaneous perpetual calendar with Grande Date, day, month, leap-year indication, day/night indication. 
Face 2: Jumping digital hour time display, with minute repeater with "dead time" avoidance system. Face 3: Synodic, anomalistic, and draconic moon-phase displays. 
Face 4: Moon-phase as seen from the Southern Hemisphere.

the watch and its functions are so complicated that I could not post them all, better to look here to fully understand all that the watch does, and then there is the price, in Euros €1,350,000 at todays rate £1,139,791.50 or $1,486,260.35 if you want one you had better be quick, for this year they are only making 10 of them.
