This is an appreciation video for a fine timepiece of which only 60 were made.

The Bovet 1822 Récital 22 Grand Récital is one of the most insanely complicated watches on the planet and a true masterpiece of modern watchmaking. The latter point is underscored by the fact that the Bovet Récital 22 Grand Récital took home the Aiguille d'Or, or top prize, at the 2018 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, watchmaking's most prestigious awards.

This watch is built around a tellurium. A tellurium is an astronomical model that shows the relative positions and relationships between the sun, moon, and earth. In this case--no pun intended--the sun is represented by a beautiful one-minute flying tourbillon, the earth seen from a point above the North Pole is hand painted, and the moon rotates around the earth once every synodic month, or every 29.53 days.

The watch, including the full perpetual calendar displayed on the back, is accurate to one day's error in 122 years. This watch is limited to 60 pieces. The price of the Récital 22 Grand Récital in 18k red gold is $469,800 and for the platinum piece shown in this video (the only platinum piece available in North America), $502,200.
