I think the top watchmakers at the big names in Switzerland get tired of the mundane and build these works of art to test their skills. It is more wrist art than a watch. I do marvel at the mastery it takes to build any mechanical watch.

Yes, clearly not a watch for the masses, more of a look what we can do statement. Pretty cool IMHO

Not feeling this one at all. Not that I could or would ever spend that kind of $$$ on a watch.

For 402k, I"d rather have Ivan's starter system and 70 or 80k left over for a nice Patek or Lange.
