$1.5 million watch

If money were no object you could spend $1.5 million for a Vacheron Constantin Tour d'Ile wristwatch. Known as the world's most complicated dual-face watch it has 16 different horological complications and astronomical indications including a minute repeater, sunset time, perpetual calendar, second time zone, a tourbillon, the equation of time and the representation of the night sky. The Tour d'Ile has 834 parts and took 10,000 man hours to research and build. Only 7 of them have been made.
