If you thought the ballyhooed Apple iWatch was a bit much, get a load of this.

Swiss watchmakers Vacheron Constantin have unveiled what they’re calling the most “complicated” watch ever made. The commissioned piece allegedly cost a private collector about $10 million.

The mega-watch boasts 57 “complications.” (In watch parlance, a complication is any feature beyond basic time telling.) That’s 24 more than the previous record holder, Patek Philippe Calibre 89, which was built in 1989.

The watch is called the Reference 57260.Caters NewsThe watch is called the Reference 57260.Caters News

It took three watchmakers eight years to design and build the new 18-karat white gold, 4-inch, 2,828-part Titanic of watches.

The timepiece’s name, Reference 57260, doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, but perhaps it does in one of Switzerland’s four national languages.

Some of the many features not found on your average watch include sunrise and sunset times, moon phases, solstices and equinoxes. It’s also perfect for connoisseurs who desperately need astrological signs, star charts and the Hebrew calendar within reach at all times.

Or, you know, for the insanely rich guy who can afford a $10 million party icebreaker.
