The Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie from Jaeger-LeCoultre holds an impressive 26 complications in a single mechanical timepiece

Aside from telling the time, the watch focuses on two major functions including the perpetual calendar and the ornate chiming functions.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 182 flying tourbillon movement is massively complex with over 1,300 parts. The gongs and hammers of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie include the ability to play the full "Carillon de Westminster" melody, a grande sonnerie, petit sonnerie, and has a minute repeater

The watch comes in an 18k white-gold case and is 44mm wide by 15mm thick.

And it is worth a good $2.5 million

Isn't it amazing?

    since it tells the time just as well as a $40 watch I'll go with the $40 one. =) I think the chime would get annoying after awhile.
