Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega 4 is undoubtedly the most complicated watch in the world, with breathtaking success in both watchmaking and its complexity. Set of 36 features, the Aeternitas Mega 4 consists of 1483 parts, just enough to shock the 6 buttons on either side of the case. And these 36 features include: hour, minute, second and day and night display, retrograde date and hour, chase the needle time, fly back, start the timer switch, mute, the size of self-Ming, repeater, moon phase, time Style, 24-hour display, multi-time zone display, long-lasting calendar, leap year display, year display, long power, power reserve display, tourbillon, three questions, self-winding, almost everyone can imagine the functions are combined. The watch, designed by Pierre-Michel Goley, Group Technical Director, incorporates past experience of 1-3, and since Goley insisted on hand-drawing, the Aeternitas Mega 4 took just five years to complete, from concept to drawing. â–² set of 36 features in one of the Aeternitas Mega 4, case made of platinum, can be said to be the pinnacle of complex functions menu The real calendar Among so many amazingly complex features, one of the more complicated features is Franck Muller's unique feature, its calendar mechanism uses a special long-lasting calendar. It is worth mentioning that, Aeternitas's name comes from Latin, meaning eternity, but also represents the permanent calendar in Aeternitas Mega 4. Enduring Calendar is a challenging feature, also known as the Millennium Calendar, the only calendar in the industry that can truly run for thousands of years. Based on the Gregorian calendar we now use, the centuries-old figures must be divisible by 400 before they are leap years, so 2100, 2200 and 2300 are not leap years. Perpetual calendar made in the past can not be automatically calibrated this exception, so each of these years, the perpetual calendar will be from February 28 to 29 instead of March 1, this time must be returned to the original manual Adjustment, which is a long time regrettable calendar function. But Franck Muller's permanent calendar, but can automatically identify the century, until after 1000. Its calendar mechanism through two additional sets of gears, a set of gear-driven mechanism can run for thousands of years, the other set by a camshaft, the calendar mechanism to eliminate the current calendar every four hundred years will need to manually adjust Exception, and reset the leap year setting automatically for the fourth time so that the perpetual calendar theoretically can continuously circulate the millennium without adjustment. Echo this design is the face plate near the three o'clock position, the red ring on the ring. This is the century year (one hundred years each century), which is generally red, but appears green when the year is an exception to the current calendar. This unique design makes this large complex watch a truly authentic perpetual calendar watch, enough to disdain for the altarpiece. â–² FM 3480 QPSE self-winding movement Since the watch function In addition, in the complex features carried on this watch, its large and small self-muted features are picked up in the form of bell at Westminster Abbey. The wearer can choose a large self-timer or small self-timer form, and face fan at two o'clock fan window display. If set to a large self-timer, every single point will ring with a single tone. At the moment of engraving, the hour of the moment will be knocked out first, and then the hour of the hour will be knocked out by the combination of the four tones. If set to a small self-policing, engraving will not be the whole point of the whole ring. Can imagine the impact of such a structure on the power, in order to avoid excessive consumption of power to start the mechanism to interfere with the watch go-ahead operation, the use of double barrel design. One of the barrel dedicated to the size of self-Ming and three questions function. Optimize its performance through independent motivation and up to 24 hours of continuous operation. Two-point position on the front of the press to set the big and small self-mode, displayed in the face plate at two o'clock fan-shaped plate. The timing power reserve is also located here. The eleven o'clock position on the front of the two by the top of the button for the start / stop self-Ming, the status will be displayed in the corresponding face plate position. While the bottom is asked by three. The power sources are clearly differentiated and do not interfere with each other, making the Aeternitas Mega 4 power reserve up to three days. Aeternitas Mega 4 mining barrel shaped surface, the table diameter of 42x61 mm, large super-superficial diameter domineering! This watch will only be produced when the order is received. In 2009, a U.S. buyer bought the watch for $ 2.4 million. Can only say that such a powerful force with the purchasing power really make a crowd look back!
