Every attention to detail and quality with an immense amount of engineering to fabricate the mainspring, spindle andcomplicated mechanism. A truly superb and decorative work of art that probably took a year to make. Very few makers worldwide could accomplish as fine of work and at today’s custom rates a price of $50,000 would beestimated. Est.: $4000-$8000
