Hopefully simpler!

Although I'd put a lot of functional complexity in here, at heart this is an automatic minute repeater, perpetual calendar with a 24 hour function, all elements that the Patek 3974 had in a 36mm x 12mm case in 1989 (though, to be fair, it doesn't have the carillon or cathedral chime). Everything else is about adjustment and triggering). Or another way of looking at it is that it's like the Superbia Humanitatis but without the two barrels, the G&PS, the flyback rattrapante chronograph, the thermometer, the moonphase, the equation of time, or the flying tourbillon. in a case 3mm wider and 3.6mm thinner.
Obviously wouldn't be a cheap watch to produce but that wasn't a constraint. Either way, not something I'd ever own but thought it was fun to think about.
