This $1.7M Hyperwatch Is INSANE 🤯

[@ge48421]

This watch really is a conversation starter, with the conversation being "gimme the watch and nobody will get hurt".

[@nobbynoris]

Just think, for $1.7 million you could buy 34 million Invictas. You could own every single model, like, twice over.

[@ge48421]

@@nobbynoris I'd be living somewhere where I don't need a watch if i could afford this thing .

[@kurtengelken3535]

Like putin and the superbowl ring.

[@astorbeijer9424]

I actually like this watch, and I've never liked an AP before. The equally weird thing is that I wouldn't get the skeletonized version. I would have thought that if I had a watch with all these complications that I would want to see all the parts moving. Instead, I find myself preferring the simplicity of the dial version. Nice one, AP!

[@SonicPoetryIII]

I couldn't have said it better. Beautiful watch to look at.

[@laszlos4892]

absolutely agree. Can't believe that I am actually saying this, but I also prefer the non-skeleton version. Gorgeous little thing. Sadly not in my price range, but I can acknowledge beauty.

[@MerlinsTeaboy]

Now imagine the Ali express version 😂

[@stupidocanerosa]

The skeletonized version already has that vibe. I'm quite sure I've seen something like that in some advertising. One with the mantra "we make luxury affordable by cutting the man in the middle."

[@22david22]

Give it few weeks😂

cant decide if i like the skele or standard version... guess will just have to get both.

More than 1000 parts in the thickness of a Vostok Amphibian....that.is.mindblowing.

[@khronosbest9448]

A magnificent creation of horological mastery. Not exactly price friendly and much more than average pockets could endure but nonetheless a masterpiece.

[@felixangelpazovila1350]

8:40 I would guess is to let the saphire vibrate. If you have it against your wrist it would be like trying to play the guitar while pressing all the strings.

[@bullnose01]

Quick set perpetual calendar function! That alone almost is worth the price. 😮 I am particularly impressed by how clean AP kept the dial layout.

[@michaelgallon9431]

I have just asked my wife to consider buying it for my birthday in April. She even wrote it down to check it out, bless her. Even if I could afford any of the top three, it would be a Vacheron or a Patek I'm not an AP fan at all, but I quite like this.

[@pimnieuwenhuizen8561]

A magnificent display of their capabilities by AP. Actually like this version over the RO design. And must say the “extra” paint tin opening complication made me realize I need one desperately.

[@ImperrfectStranger]

Why do no mechanical watches have a daylight savings setting? Hour adder and subractor complications?

[@alvinmick218]

Thank you for another excellent video. I am fascinated by the amount of precision and creativity needed to produce such a complex mechanical timepiece. I always look forward to your next video. 🥃

[@birdytiger]

Cheers to the one dude in 2399 is an expert in archaic mechanics when this walks through his door hoping for a service

[@harmoniaartificiosa]

It’s pretty cool, kind of. If they release a blue dial version I’ll get it. Or a green.

[@nicerides9224]

A blue sunburst dial gradually darkening from the center would look killer.

[@daytonarol3x]

Never liked AP timepieces at all, but then I saw this model absolutely stunning

[@paulsymonds820]

Mind blowing craftsmanship and very well described Andrew.

[@etmax1]

So I've just bought an 8k monitor and some of this video was in 8k so I really enjoyed it. The CAD they used to do explode animations is fantastic, so photo realistic. I would never buy a watch like that, but I'm really glad that there are people out there that fund my entertainment in such an interesting way, as if they didn't have 1.7m in change to keep the R&D and manufacturing above water I wouldn't be able to spend a few cents watching it on KZbin.

[@bt3750]

I wonder if the back hatch is also there to protect what is fairly thin sapphire crystal on the back of the watch . . .?

[@DonLee1980]

AP really stepped up their game. There are no PP wrist watches that have a minute repeater, tourbillon, perpetual calendar and a chronograph (let alone a split chrono).

[@laszlos4892]

PP Grandmaster Chime... take a glance

[@DonLee1980]

@@laszlos4892 that watch does not have a chrono, let alone a split chrono, also no tourbillon, it's also in a gigantic 47mm case and 18mm thick. not really a watch is it anymore?

[@TheAffordaBlurWatch]

Perhaps AP added the lid to protect the sapphire crystal which, as I understand, is extra thin for better gong accoustics. Maybe the thinness makes it less shatterproof. Not sure how it would fall on its back though. At 1.7 million, however, it’s better to be safe than sorry :)

[@david12990]

Interesting thought. I did not think of that.

[@mercster]

JRR Tolkien once proclaimed that 'cellar door' was the most beautiful phrase in the English language. He was wrong: it's pop-up backhatch.

[@TheBelse]

it's a beast ..... a very expensive one. Big love to the both of you and the show ..the best at describing the romance in watch collecting.

[@simonassouline1230]

Imagine spending 1.7 million on this phenomenal timepiece! Then you experience a problem with a function or function’s, you give to your AP dealer for warranty service! Then AP advises you the warranty isn’t covered, how much would the bill! $10k, 30k, or 100k!😮

[@jpdemer5]

I'm holding out for the quartz model. It should be thinner.

[@irisfailsafe]

Very interesting watch. And great for AP to remind itself that they are more than the Royal Oak

[@bubbabrannan5915]

I like the Code 1159 line, out of my price range. Should have opened it up more on the caseback.... Nice timepiece..

[@iamthejad]

Every time I get a Royal Oak flash on the internet, I look away! Shielding my peripheral vision with my hand, as if I opened a door just to be surprised by 2 men going at it. It's an eyesore! This grand complication is a beautiful mutant. Like Kate Upton with a double chin. It would've been perfect without the Chronograph. Thank you for your content

[@danielescarcella7651]

So, they did all this work for years to create the most complicated watch, they fitted a minute repeater and a grand sonnerie whatever, and they couldn't show the year with 4 digit in a perpetual calendar that should not be reset until 2400? How will I know if it is 2023 or 2223???? I am very disappointed!

[@dthoma128]

Wowzer is all I can say! Technically rich, beautifully engineered and finished perfectly. Would be curious to know how many get sold. Thanks for sharing.

[@donaldduck7628]

No rear viewing window? I refuse to get it. If you have to open the back to see it, then its too much trouble.

[@DouglasRosser]

While the dial on the original CoDe 11.59 looked a little sparse, it definitely left "so much room for activities" like this monster!

[@misteratoz]

Jlc reverso did it better tbh. All it's missing is the sonnerie, split second, and secular calendar but adds other functions with better size.

[@Yoshikaable]

I really like the flip open case back. Reminds me of the old pocket watches and a few other brands such as PP do this

[@eseskay99]

Anyone know how much it would cost to service this insane watch?

It's an amazing piece of art work. One would assume that for 1.7M, it spends its days locked in a display box...which is somewhat a shame!

[@anthonystevens8683]

This looks fantastic, at long last I know what to save up my Nectar points up for. Servicing costs would be an interesting one though along with how long it would take, I wonder if it's inclusive to the cost of the watch otherwise at a guess you could probably buy another luxury watch or two for the cost. Also I wonder if they would give you a loan watch while yours in away being serviced. I doubt of my local watchmaker a certain Mr Horace Ology would be able to service it.

$1.7 milion sounds like a ludicrous price for a watch but if you think about it that probably coverts to just under £1 million, so it all equals out really.

Crazy amazing offering from AP. But so expensive that it's utterly worthless and unobtainable to all but the 0.01% who can spend 1.7M on a watch. Clearly, it shows what AP is capable of and gives us something to dream about owning. I suppose there's something of value in that. I'm curious how long until Producer Michael buys one to compare to his Jacob & Co. Astronomia in one of his videos. That I would like to see. Cheers!🙂
