Happy New Year!
We’re starting 2021 with one of the most complicated watches ever made. With a total of 19 complications, the 1904 Dent Ultra Complication has just five fewer functions than the Henry Graves Supercomplication - the most complicated watch ever made without the aid of computer technology – commissioned from Patek Philippe 20 years later.
This large and heavy watch sold for $832,000 in the first online sale ever dedicated to pocket watches (100% sold) in June.
A unique collaboration between the English firm Dent, the Swiss company Capt & Cie. of Solliat and the watchmaker Leon Aubert of Le Brassus, it came from the legendary “Masterworks of Time” collection.
