На форуме VC Алекс от себя добавил заключительные комментарии...

Unless you were away on a distant planet you will have heard by now that Vacheron Constantin presented on Sept 17 the world's most complicated watch. A piece commissioned 8 years ago by a collector and featuring 57 complications, almost 10 of which had never been seen before in a watch and most of the others executed in a novel way.

However, other than the sheer feat of making this watch here are just some thoughs on it:

1- This is pure watchmaking: there is no artistic crafts or unnecessary embelishments just pure horological art, everything makes sense all the functions and features fit into eachother perfectly and it is amazingly legible

2- In a period where speed is the word there are people who are willing to commission such a piece and other willing to make it and both willing to wait 8 years to finalise it

3- The same year most Cassandras have been announcing the death of mechanical watchmaking due to the arrival of the Apple Watch, Vacheron Constantin has come out with a piece showing that traditional watchmaking is far from dead and on the contrary is here and taking center stage.

4- We had'nt seen anything technically exciting comeing out from the industry since the financial crisis of 2008 and the Ref 57260 will definitely shake the industry and push other brands into searching into new paths and to reinvent themselves.

5- And finally as a long time VC collector and lover I'm proud to think that in a way all of us Vacheronistas were never wrong betting on such a beautiful brand :-)

В общем, скорее готов согласится с его мнением по всем пунктам...

Абсолютно верно, демонстрация возможностей. Думаю, что в дальнейшем будут использовать наработки в новых моделях.

Что именно будут использовать, сто тысяч функций одновременно?
А вообще фуфловые часы: сами себе репассаж не делают, сами не ремонтируются, не показывают восьмое время в созвездии Стрельца, ну и тд

И еще приятное видео.
Основная часть - рекламная лирика. Гораздо приятнее наблюдать мех в действии...
