They offer free servicing for up to 10 years, after which you can opt to join a service club; which allows you to become a member and avail free servicing along side private releases of the watch. I believe the membership is offered through application, and costs around $1,500 /year

There is soooo much to discuss on this watch and it truly is a marvel. I gotta admit the whole lack of constant force thing confused me for a long time in mechanical watches (Hooke sucks sometimes), but I always figured the escapement helped to regulate that force and anything extra would be lost as heat or sound or something like that. Now you got me re-questioning what I know... and now a conical spiral? I assume it narrows at the same rate that energy lost in mainspring weakness, but it confuses me so much that I think I am going to now start buying quartz watches again! Thanks for nothing!!

An example needs to be kept safe like a fine work of art. The problem I have as an engineer who loves to work with their hands, is that to me simplicity equals reliability. My fine watches whose name starts with a P, typically have about 130-150 parts with little or no complications. They are not only beautiful but reliable, year after year. Considering the tolerances and precision of such a wondrous piece with 1,000 parts would worry me beyond measure! Bravo!

Exotic cars and exotic watches aren't that much different, even by price. 200,000 Pounds for an Aston Martin, or an A. Lange & Sohne. Same levels of design, engineering, and wizardry. Drive it. Wear it. Enjoy It. If you can afford it, that likely means you earned it. You should always be able to enjoy the fruits of your labours.

You've made the comment more than once that a tourbillon is not a complication. Anything above and beyond the telling of time is by definition a watch complication. Going further, some even consider seconds hands a complication, which is logical, since early watches didn't have them. A separate second hand on a subdial is actually easier to make than a centrally mounted one.

But, when the wristwatch is THIS watch, it somehow makes sense.
