Price indication is from CHF30,000 - 70,000 depending on choice of case material.

The anti-counterfeit measures are not as cool as the fact one can customise the watch from the factory to suit one's tastes and bank balance.

I think the customizing options for the individual customer makes the possibilities phenomenal. It is a beautiful timepiece with the different component options.

Yes I had read about their counter measures as well as their personal design service.
Their other watches from this stable are also very cool.

Two different models, over 400 combinations. This is a good read, with some beautiful diagrams:
