"Solaria is a phenomenal timepiece. So, this is as far as we can say the new world record in terms of complications for a wristwatch. We have 41 complications in this timepiece. And these complications are covering, I would say, all aspects of the watchmaking expertise of the time, notably in the field of architecture, of astronomy, also in the field of chiming complications, and also in the field of stopwatches, namely chronograph, because it is also a chronograph with a split-second recorder. So, it's a unique piece which is part of Leica Minutiae, which is our department of unique watches. We only create unique watches in these departments. And so, this is the new world record, and it has been created, especially for the 270-year anniversary of Vacheron Constantin."
