This is the kind of watch I picture a Russian Oligarch wearing.  According to Bulgari, the sonnerie function will chime over 433,500 times per a year if it is continuously operated.  The movement is quite impressive, with almost 1000 parts — watch the video below for a closer look.  One interesting thing about the movement is that it is an automatic (hence the rotor).  In ultra-complicated watches such as this one you almost always see a manual-wind movement.  This is nice, because it must be kind of a hassle to always be re-setting this watch as might be the case if it were a manual wind.

The Bulgari Daniel Roth Grande Sonnerie Quantieme Perpetual Calendar watch will be priced at 980,000 Swiss Francs, or in excess of $1,000,000 at current F/X.
