1. Roger Dubuis Excalibur Quatuor
The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Quatuor is the epitome of class and elegance. Crafted over the course of thousands of on-hand work hours, this watch is precise down to every single little detail. With a power reserve of 40 hours, it boasts one of the most impressive rates for a watch of its caliber.
18K white gold hands are used to tell the time across a red skeleton dial. The 48mm case is made with black carbon for maximum durability to protect the investment. With a soft Barénia leather strap, it’s as comfortable as it gets.
Four spring balances adjust with your every movement to keep the watch as accurate as possible. Roger Dubius focuses on style, comfort, and efficiency in every millimeter of this timepiece.

2. Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie
The Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie is another high-quality watch with a multi-million dollar price tag. This flying tourbillon watch uses a comfortable leather strap to fit around your wrist without causing any pinching or discomfort along the way. The intricate design is comprised of well over 1,000 parts, making it one of the world’s most complex watches.
Perhaps the most notable feature of this watch is the chime that rings upon the hour. You can see the time, date, and even a weekday calendar from the watch’s interface. Both the top and bottom have their own unique displays to view.
It comes with a code-secured safe to protect the heavy investment. Costing above 1.5 million dollars, this watch definitely sets a standard for high-tier timepieces. The 12-hour time reserve is also a stretch for the impressive watch.

3. Greubel Forsey Art Piece 1
The Greubel Forsey Art Piece 1 is hand-crafted by a company that believes in the value of art within a timepiece. This might be one of the world’s most expensive watches, but it mirrors something that you’d see in a museum of art.
Peer through the microscope set into the display for a look at every fine detail. Since it’s made as a tourbillon watch, you’ll be able to accurately maintain the time throughout the day (and month for that matter).
Pros:

The Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega is another example of an art piece in the form of a million dollar watch. While it helps you tell time easily, you’ll also want to look at it in marvel from the incredible detail.
Aeternitas refers to the Latin word meaning eternity. The company chose such a name to signify the reliability of the watch model as well as a symbol of time. Over 1,400 moving parts make this another contender for the most complex watch around.
Pros:

+ As complex as you can find
+ Manufactured in the building, with all parts staying in one place
