Complex $1.2 Million Manufacture Royale Accordion Watch Plays a Simple Tune

Manufacture Royale's Opera $1.2 million watch doesn't just open up for show, there's some functionality built into that unfolding, accordion-like action too. Minute hand repeater plays C#, hour hand plays in A. Your wallet weeps to the tune of "empty."

The watch will be limited to a run of only 12 timepieces, each comprised of 319 gears, springs and other bits of 18k rose and gray gold. The band is unashamedly alligator skin.

    Haha all that to play a simple tune? A bit frivolous imo.

    You know, I think I'd buy that watch, just to say I have a 1.2 million watch.

    but I don't have 1.2 mil unfortunately. XD

    a man with one watch always knows the time...
    a man with 2 watches is never quite shure

    i require something more complex. maybe a watch that mechanically mimics a marching band and dancers.

    i also require something more exclusive. 11 other people will have this watch. that's too many. give me something unique.
