The perpetual calendar, a mind of gears, automatically accounts for the vagaries of months, including leap years, and may not need adjustment until the year 2100. The minute repeater, the most poetic of complications, transforms time into sound, chiming the hours, quarters, and minutes on tiny gongs at the push of a slide—a melody of pure mechanics.

The tourbillon, invented to counteract gravity’s effect on accuracy, is a mesmerizing rotating cage for the escapement, a whirlwind of technical prowess that symbolizes the watchmaker’s quest for perfection. Each complication is a chapter in a longer story of human curiosity and triumph over micro-engineering challenges.
