A high-complication watch is an intricate timepiece with advanced functions beyond basic timekeeping. These functions can include chronographs, perpetual calendars, moon phase displays, tourbillons, minute repeaters, and split-second chronographs.

High-complication watches are highly sought after by watch enthusiasts and collectors for their design, technical prowess, and craftsmanship. They represent the pinnacle of watchmaking artistry and engineering. Each complication requires precise engineering and meticulous assembly for reliable performance.

Chronographs measure time intervals with a stopwatch feature. Perpetual calendars automatically adjust for varying months and leap years. Moon phase displays show the current moon phase. Tourbillons counteract gravity for improved accuracy.

Minute repeaters chime the time in hours, quarter hours, and minutes. Split-second chronographs have two seconds of hands for measuring multiple time intervals.

Owning a high-complication watch symbolizes prestige and craftsmanship. These timepieces are both functional and artistic, capturing the attention of watch connoisseurs worldwide.
