IWC Grande Complication watch, limited and numbered edition of 50 pieces per annual production, round platinum case (42.2mm diameter, 16.3mm thickness) with screw-in crown, platinum bracelet, silver dial with silver hands and index hour markers, chronograph, minute repeater, perpetual calendar with crown-activated rapid advance, four-digit year display, perpetual moon phase display, 75 jewel Caliber 79091 self-winding mechanical movement with 44 hour power reserve, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, water resistant to 10 meters.i>Its vital statistics are as follows: 659 mechanical parts together with 21 functions and displays, including a perpetual calendar for the next 500 years and a perpetual moon phase display made of polished goldstone, representing a star-studded midnight-blue sky. Working inside the Grande Complication are a chronograph and a highly complex minute repeater strike train with an all-or-nothing piece. This elaborate piece of mechanics chimes out the time in crystal-clear tones, which are activated by a repeating slide on the left-hand side of the case. Two tiny, precision-made hammers are released and strike the time in hours, quarters and minutes on two gongs. The strike train is a technical tour de force. Initially, the chimes were inaudible outside the solid platinum case, so the glass was freely suspended on a platinum membrane to enable it to amplify the vibrations produced by the gongs via the sound transmission pin. The case, too, finished in solid platinum with a fineness of 95 percent or 18-carat rose gold, is first-class.
