Watchmaking in itself is a labor of precision, but after the 2013 debut of A. Lange & Söhne’s Grand Complication in Germany, the watchmaker made it clear that they were raising the stakes of meticulous timekeeping. Equipped with a grand and petite sonnerie, as well as a minute repeater and a split-seconds chronograph, the grand complication watch fully utilizes its 876 moving pieces. The watch elegantly exhibits a perpetual calendar and moon-phase display without crowding the watch’s detailed face, and boasts a blued-steel rattrapante hand.  With a construction time of a year per watch, the grand complication chimes in as one of A. Lange & Söhne most fastidious creations to date. The first of six timepieces that will be created was only handed over to it’s owner last month, making this timepiece truly a collectors item worth noting.
