    Agreed, Michael, an excellent article. I'm very fond of the most fascinating of all complications.

    Forget the tourbillon - this is the king of complications! Great article and yes, thank you Ralph for the "Ding ding"!

    The tourbillon is, indeed, king (in a constitutional monarchy sort of way). It looks beautiful, it mesmerises but its powers are limited. Having said that, the constant force tourbillon acts as a power reserve indicator: the king of kings! But the minute repeater was always top of my list.

    Loved it, and I love the Minute Repeater - I just have to waite until I turn 50, then I hopefully can deserve one of these classy gentlemen's watches!
