The concealed clockwork components were much more beautiful than the finished product to me. All that filigree, it’s too much. But then I’m not the target market for a $2.6 million dollar wristwatch.

Nor I.

I have a ten-year-old $130 Casio (would have been $80 without the titanium band). Solar powered. Sets itself. Matches WWV exactly, which isn't surprising, since WWVB is where it sets itself every morning.

What's that in complications? In complications per dollar? I know, I don't get the point ...

However, the Casio does require attention when changing timezones. Seiko has a new model that solves all of the above, including the timezone. It sets itself to GPS and thus knows where it is in addition to the exact time, so it can pick the proper timezone. Maybe I'll buy one, next time I experience an unexpected capital gain (but probably not, given all the other goodies out there — example).
