onzenuub 307 Posted January 13, 2010 "36 complications, 25 of them visible, 1,483 components, a 1000-year calendar, a price tag of 2.7 million dollars, and 5 years’ work": that's what the Watchland group has claimed for the Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega 4. "The Aeternitas movement served as a base, while the Mega 4 represents the apotheosis of the art of watchmaking with its grand and small Westminster chime striking-work, the only one available on the market with a tourbillon visible on the dial. Added to this are a minute repeater, a mono-pushpiece split-seconds chronograph, a perpetual calendar secular, and an equation of time which only varies by 6.8 seconds per lunar month, the equivalent of one day every thousand years" said the Franck Muller press release. "Although the first piece of this exceptional, limited series was presented to an American collector at a ceremony in Monaco last November, the Master Watchmakers of Genthod are already putting the finishing touches to a second Aeternitas Mega 4, which will be available in the very near future". said watchland, one of the much talked about groups in the industry grapevine; The Aeternitas Mega 4 will be launched to the media at WPHH – World Presentation of Haute Horlogerie – exhibitions this year at its Watchland site in Genthod on 17-23 January and 17-27 March from 9.00 a.m. to 6 p.m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 994 Posted January 13, 2010 Oh that MVT! Just putting it together would be a show of great skill but someone actualy designed that. My brain hurts just looking at it. 2.5 huge ones well spent if you have it to spare. I would think the kind of person who buys this allready has the Patak. Col.
