To this day, the maddest creation from JLC in terms of complications ( a bit more than 20 ) and price ( a bit more than 1, 000 000 Euros ). 

Another challenge, 1400 parts, for the movement, and, still, some reasonable dimensions for that kind of Grande Complication: 44 mm big, Circa 15 mm high... 

Remarkable.

Best,

Nicolas
