Complications (horrible choice of terminology?)

. Art of watchmaking is largely about mastering this.

A $2.7 million masterpiece
Naturally, there must always be a watch or watchmaker who outshines even the most complicated watches. Franck Muller, also known as the "Master of Complications," developed the Aeternitas Mega 4, which features 10 more complications than the Jaeger-LeCoultre model. The integrated calendar is valid for the next 1,000 years, while the movement itself consists of 1,483 components. Similar to the famous Grande Complication by A. Lange &amo; Söhne, this watch is unique. It was sold at a record price of US$2,700,000 to an American watch collector and solemnly presented in the presence of Franck Muller. Without a doubt, this model has earned a place among the most complex haute horlogerie calibers.
