Patek Philippe rendered the interior of its manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates unrecognisable even to those familiar with it last night as the brand pulled out all the stops to celebrate its 175th anniversary. Courtyards and gardens made way for a huge temporary indoor structure that housed a lounge area, bars and even a temporary exhibition that included a breathtaking 3D immersion into the movement of its new star piece : The GrandMaster Chime.

In what is, perhaps, a tongue-in-cheek dig at Apple's much-hyped timepiece, Patek Philippe refers to the Grandmaster Chime (reference 5175 for the Patek purists) as an "intelligent watch". For the brand's master watchmakers, however, intelligence in this case meant developing isolators to ensure that certain functions are blocked to avoid damaging the movement while others are in operation, and meticulously hand engraving the names of the functions on the respective pushers.

The sheer magnitude of the new collection, whose star model alone accounted for 100,000 hours of development, production and assembly (4167 days, or 595 weeks, or a mind-boggling 11 years of cumulative work, to save you the counting), is enough to keep even the most die-hard and demanding watch fans salivating for weeks to come. We will indeed be returning to all the new models in detail over the coming days on WorldTempus.

But back to the superlatives for the Grandmaster Chime : 1,366 individual components in the movement and 214 for each pivoting case, which has an astonishingly reasonable 47mm diameter for a wristwatch with a dial on either side and, among its 20 complications, two "striking" functions that have never before been seen in a wristwatch : a striking alarm and a new, patented, striking date.

Our contributor David Chokron will come back to these radical new features, as well as the 18 other complications, just as soon as he has had time to digest the many functions of this new piece. WorldTempus will also take a closer look, of course, into the other new timepieces presented for Patek Philippe's 175th anniversary, for which names for once take priority over reference numbers (to the delight of those with dyscalculia).

Look out for more details, therefore, on the beautifully engraved dial of the Chiming Jumping Hour (ref. 5275) the World Time Moon (ref. 5575 and 7175) and the Multi-Scale Chronographs (ref. 5975 and 4675) plus a whole series of watches that show off the brand's rare handcraft capabilities.

Antiquorum completed an epoch-making sale yesterday at its fall Geneva auction. Originating in Japanese Patek Philippe and Ferrari collector Yoshiho Matsuda's collection, Antiquroum sold the yellow gold timepiece weighing 1.1 kilograms for 4.5 million Swiss francs. Together with the buyer's fee, this made for 5,120,000 million Swiss francs changing hands.

One of the rarest pocket watches in the world—only one was made in each of four precious metals—it also holds the record for being the most complicated timepiece in existence: the triple spring barrel movement with a non-visible tourbillon boasts 33 complications and displays the hours, minutes, and seconds of both mean time (front) and sidereal time (back). The other complications include: second time zone, times of sunrise and sunset, the equation of time, world time for 125 cities, secular perpetual calendar (day, weekday, month, four-digit year, leap year, "sun hand" for display of the season, equinox, solstice, and zodiac, star chart, age and phase of the moon, date of Easter, Sirius's passage, the moon's passage, lunar orbit, and a 24-hour display with day/night indicator), split-seconds chronograph with 30-minute and 12-hour counters, grande et petite sonnerie with carillon, a minute repeater, alarm, power reserve indicators for both movement and strike train, crown position indicator, thermometer, hair hygrometer, barometer, altimeter, and compass. The movement containing 1,278 components boasts four levels on three German silver plates and 126 jewels. It measures 71.5 x 28.05 mm and weighs 600 grams.
Taking a full nine years to complete, Caliber 89's movement conforms to the strict specifications of the Seal of Geneva. The yellow gold example sold yesterday was originally part of Antiquorum's themed sale "The Art of Patek Philippe" on April 9, 1989. All four of the watches were sold at this time to one royal family, with the collection dispersing in the early years of the new millennium.
The Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva does not own an example of Caliber 89: the watch measuring 88.2 x 41.07 mm on display there does not contain a movement. Antiquorum celebrates its 35th anniversary this year.
