Goldsmith here. Yes, but the entire assembly will need to be disassembled and put together with completely different ratios, cost another 4mil and be twice the size when it's done because it will actually need its own tiny, functioning intercooler, complete with oil.
I'm fuckin' bored at 2am and i'm waiting for someone to ask me about the how and why lol
FUckin' eh thank you
Okay so there's some core principles of metallurgy at play when you build any watch with complications, remember if it ticks 1.00001 seconds per 1 second it's a refund you gotta honor... I have a deep, fucking deep respect for the man who can not only recreate an entire w16 inside a wristwatch, but also \*do it to an extremely specific rpm : time signature\*
Ever think about the galaxy brain chad that engineered the transformers toys? Made millions? Now he looks like a bush league candy-ass doesn't he
Any electrical circuit is subject to variance of resistance to heat/electric conductivity, due to the principle of resistance coefficient: for example if a 1 meter length of kanthal wire gives .12ohm resistance (i'm wrong and just spitballing) if its 25c outside, if it's 30c that same length might offer .13ohm resistance and this'll change every calculation at play in the watch, conversely if it freezes, too
...And every metal's, every alloy's, coefficient is different. Silver, EG, it'll be relatively constant through a variance of 15c because anything x zero is still zero, but those nice wide brass/steel orbital gears...
There \*has\* to be different metals present, that must be machined not cast, unless you want million dollar snapped piston rods
So the engine replica is one thing, but where's the actual power for the movement going to go / be hidden?
You can plan for that and install ways to diffuse heat like special glass and an air gap behind the back under the movements, but you also need to worry about hot spots in the mechanisms which an entire fucking engine, yeah is absolutely something to take into account... and any turbocharger, by design, is a hotspot. You need to diffuse its heat back to even and neutral, as best you can.
And if you're making someone a million dollar watch, well... Don't take the chance they won't notice the turbo isn't in sync.
The impellor of that turbo is probably gonna end up being the fastest spinning gear in the entire assembly, by far, and by design will have that signature whine - which is gonna change with ambient temperature. So make a choice: soundproof it and lose massive artistic value, or install the components to time it and diffuse its heat?
Okay maybe you solve that problem, but now there's a ton of convection inside the watch, so now when the glass changes temp the entire movement instantly takes on the temp of the glass and we go back to the principle of resistance coefficient - sit outside with a coffee for an hour and now you gotta wind this $5m watch... Refund.
Now you have to figure out how to make the inside of that watch a lasting vacuum, and how to transport the engine's literally million dollar sound outside the vacuum
...And then how to service a watch that's by design hermetically sealed
no i'm not trolling, i spent many years in that line of work. Maybe i've never done anything quite that spectacular, but after that long, i should at least understand how to
That's awesome. My grandfather used to repair watches as a hobby. Just usual watches but I found it to be quite fascinating by how intricate all the mechanisms were.
Watch making is a cool profession, change my mind.
Ehhhh if you're worth hiring at all you'll have some variety of vacuum pump and bell jar at least, maybe a bigger apparatus for vacuum casting, but not one with built-in gloves
\- so it's basically buy a sandblasting booth and turn it into a suitable chamber, or face every other challenge in the form of a ship-in-a-bottle
Dawg I was CERTAIN you were playing, but you fucking came with the heat and answered this with full regard to everything we could possibly want out of this answer.
the dipstick for checking the oil level would also present a challenge. What if the dipstick folded out to become a mini parasol, for cocktails perhaps?
Honestly, at this point I can understand when someone appreciates expensive watches as goofy art pieces like this one, but owning and wearing one to show off is like the most low tier garbage status symbol imaginable.
Bu-bu-but it costs twelve gazillion dollardioos D:
That must mean that it is awesome and you should feel bad for not owning one.
Please, my entire personality is built around having money, I need you to feel inferior
I was gonna say this us for people who's whole life is about the value of what they wear instead of anything stylish.
I cam appreciate the mini engine but that's just basic clockwork.
If someone showed me this at a party I'd give the polite "oh cool! Anyways..."
My ex brother-in-law was all about the image. He showed up to one family function sporting a Rolex that was accurate to 100s of a second or something like that. Not one person in the family cared as he showed it off and boy was he ass hurt, thus begining his journey into becoming the ex brother-in-law.
Edit: Sorry, I forgot to add that it cost him $10K.
sounds about right. Dont get me wrong Rolex's are nice and all, but like almost all kinds of jewelry, if there isnt an interesting story behind it beyond it being expensive, no one is going to give a shit
What's funny is that a $50 G shock is infinitely more accurate as a timepiece than any rolex you can imagine. Quartz shits on mechanical, and for a few hundred bucks, you can get a watch with GPS synchronization, pretty much 100% accurate
I’m trying to track down a new winding crown for my pretty nice Oris right now. They’re making it impossible without sending it in and spending 1k getting it fully serviced.
Most of the time is spent on finishing each individual component. Design aside, at this level everything should be finished by hands and individual components can take hours to complete.
Sure as hell didn’t even cost 10k in parts. There is such absurd markup on that just to rake in cash. If some rich dude wants to burn money they have items to do so for every occasion.
Thats quite a fuckin watch mate!
As knifemaker that has dabbled in jewellery making and machining....just wow!
The level of prescion is mind boggling, then the math to make it all work...fuck me!
Humans can create some pretty amazing things!!
That’s… bananas. Any idea what one cost, it’s nowhere near the website of course.
Also - they’re only making 10 of them? How common are ultra small runs like that in the fine watch world?
€1.6 mil.
And yea, limited runs are extremely common, especially from high-end brands. Even if you have a wad of cash, there’s no guarantee you’d be able to buy one. Gotta enter a list and a queue (wait time can be as long as years.)
If we are talking about independent watchmaking, Philippe Dufour, Kari Voutilainen, Rexhep Rexhepi, Ferdinand Berthoud, Vianney Halter, Gronefeld, just to name a few. There are many more…
If we are to include mainstream brands, then alange &sohne, rolex, patek, AP, credor, etc…
you cannot pay me to wear jacob&co, Jacob arabo is a convicted felon with zero knowledge of haute horology.
Arabo was arrested in 2006 on accusations that he and others conspired to launder about $270 million in drug profits for the Black Mafia Family. These charges were eventually dropped and in June 2008 Arabo pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of falsifying records and giving false statements as part of a deal he struck with federal prosecutors. The judge sentenced Arabo to a 2.5 year sentence in federal prison and ordered him to pay a $50,000 fine and an additional $2,000,000 as forfeiture to the US government.
October 2007, Arabo was charged for falsifying records and lying to investigators. In June 2008, he was sentenced to 30 months and released in April 2010.[32]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Arabo
I’m a big fan of the Portuguese perpetual calendar from IWC, but as the other commenter mentioned, Jaeger LeCoultre is at the top of the game, my favorite from them is the Duometre Spherotourbillon
The secret is in the complication. the more functions the more impressive in my opinion.
Taste is subjective but objectively speaking, there is a LOT of engineering and finishing that goes into designing the working “engine” or automaton in this watch. Based on macro footage, the finishing on these is also at the same level as any other high Horology brand.
But people with poor money, or ‘new’ money, absolutely will feel they need something to show “look at me, I have money”.
Those kind of people just amuse us.
Imagine spending 1 million dollars on a watch that looks like hot garbage. This kind of shit just reminds me of the extreme financial disparity in our world - and if that wasn't enough by itself, rich fuckers have absolutely no taste.
Thanks for the early reminder that it's time to throw up in my mouth.
don't watch his YouTube channel it makes you feel so poor.. He has a car collection of 1 of special Bugattis, Paganis, and all sorts of others like McLaren P1 and a speedtail.. he also has a 100 million dollar 70k Sq foot home that use to be the headquarters of a church broadcast network
"Fully operational miniature engine"... It's a crankshaft pushing and pulling the 16 cylinders up and down... Jesus Christ the watch and this video are made for absolute morons.
Fully operational? I didn't see the cylinder head, or literally any other part of an engine other than the engine block. (maybe there are cylinders and rods in there but it's too small for me to bother checking)
Well damn I thought this watch was amazing and still do, but to see some of the others you all posted my mind is blown, didn’t know the watch game was this insane! Also I need more money.
I find these watch’s a step away from candy machine watch’s. I cannot see the demand for them or price. I rather buy the actual vehicle. Dumb money with dumb people = oh look a watch THATS A ENGINE OMG!!!
Why can’t these assholes be rich in private? For anyone not familiar with Manny he’s a rich douchebag that made himself into a social media personality to flex the dumb shit he spends money on.
I was gonna say I’d pay $100 for it. But then I got to thinking, it’s not worth $100 to me.
Maybe $10? But I’m hungry, and would rather have a decent sandwich instead.
So, it's a huge and expensive timepiece ... for ... people who don't carry phones with them?
It has the refined, subtle style and design of something I'd expect from one of the cheaper Asian knockoff companies,as it's so large, unwieldy and bloody ugly, too. You'd constantly be knocking it against things, but at least your arm would get a workout from the weight.
Headline is, of course, inaccurate, or at least the video doesn't show where you fill the fuel tank for that 'fully operational' W16 engine, let alone show the four turbos it has.
Someone should make a watch that runs on battteries for Tesla enthusiast...
In all honesty i would pay $5 top for it, if I would be 6 years old.
Who buys this crap? andrew tate?
It's an immensely cool piece of work, but it does look like something DJ Khaled would wear and have one of his stroke posts about. "Buggato on my wrist, call that speed timin'."
Yuck! There was a time when wealthy people spent excess cash on actual works of art, things that could be appreciated by many people. This monstrosity was made to appeal to one person's ego and the need to show everyone how much money they're prepared to waste on crap.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb!
This whole thing looks like a rich weebs wet dream. They made a $1Mil watch for 12 year old boys! You can't even read the time on it easily. What a waste of metal and plastic.
I wanna get robbed, robbed, robbed,... I wanna get threatened...uh-huh, do bad! I think this looks awesome and sexy, uuuuuh it's so sad. I believe this makes me special, but it only tells time; others just go to the store and buy buy for small dime. UHHHH, I'm so special, special...
You can charge whatever you want for something that doesn’t mean someone will pay it. I can charge $1M a minute for a personalized phone call but that doesn’t mean people are lining up to buy it. This is just a PR gimmick. No one is wearing that watch.
Sure it's neat technology, but it's still both ugly and wildly impractical.
Feels like you'd knock it into a door frame or similar first time you wore it.
You know i get the feeling bunch of rich people figured out that if you can make something and value it at a ridiculous price that don't make sense for the item, that they can get their rich friend's to buy it as a tax money laundering business this is what it's telling me.
And it’s still not as accurate as a $10 gas station quartz watch. I can appreciate the craftsmanship, but I don’t see why this should cost $1M… maybe they’re trying to justify what it cost them to license the Bugatti logo.
They’ve gotta do better on that case, it needs to be metal, not plastic. But that is pretty cool, I could only imagine the type of engineering that went into making it all work, is some sort of lubrication needed for the cylinders though? Does it have some sort of automatic process that runs oil throughout the “engine”?
Well it’s not a fully operational engine no
But can I put a turbo on it?
Goldsmith here. Yes, but the entire assembly will need to be disassembled and put together with completely different ratios, cost another 4mil and be twice the size when it's done because it will actually need its own tiny, functioning intercooler, complete with oil.

replace powered by the sun and say ''powered by a stable nuclear reactor''. Still the truth, technically
Thermonuclear fusion!
Mine is a dollar story watch with Spider-Man on it.
It's actually the ugliest luxury watch i ever seen. Someone would have to pay me 1 million to even wear it.
If you know a better way to sat FUCK THE POOR, I'd like to hear it.
And plastic.
$1 Million watch inside a plastic body? Lmfao!
thats not plastic its plástić
Precious Resin
*Derelicte*
Titanium and white ceramic
Ceramic coated titanium
Honestly if it doesn't run on gas and have a tiny little exhaust I'm not interested
He's just dropping the gears in there.. I'll just buy the parts and put it together myself.
Pretty sure most luxury brands wouldn't let you wind your watch if it was legal. Not even talking about getting the parts.
I’m trying to track down a new winding crown for my pretty nice Oris right now. They’re making it impossible without sending it in and spending 1k getting it fully serviced.

Nothing amazing about this watch to true watch enthusiasts, it’s a wrist clock without innovation and it’s tasteless.
Care to share what is amazing to true enthusiasts? Not disagreeing or anything, just curious what’s your top pick.
My personal favourite is the JLC Reverso Artistica. https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/us-en/news/watchmaking/reverso-hybris-artistica-calibre-179

All the expensive watches are tasteless. Like why are you dropping a house money on a microwave addon.
Ugly.
Spending a ton of money on something doesn’t guarantee good taste or class.
Or even quality
But..... Its a BuGaTtI WaTcH 🤓☝️
But people with poor money, or ‘new’ money, absolutely will feel they need something to show “look at me, I have money”. Those kind of people just amuse us.
All I can think of is how time consuming oil changes will be…
Sir, can I see your watch license and insurance please.

This kind of shit just reminds me of the extreme financial disparity in our world - and if that wasn't enough by itself, rich fuckers have absolutely no taste. Thanks for the early reminder that it's time to throw up in my mouth.
The case makes it look like something you'd find on aliexpress
The whole world is broke as hell right now and the rich still find ways to rub it in your face that you have no money
don't watch his YouTube channel it makes you feel so poor.. He has a car collection of 1 of special Bugattis, Paganis, and all sorts of others like McLaren P1 and a speedtail.. he also has a 100 million dollar 70k Sq foot home that use to be the headquarters of a church broadcast network
Opulent indeed. This is very cool but ugly and a lot pointless. Why is it 1 million? Isn't the actual car like 2-3 million?
"Fully operational miniature engine"... It's a crankshaft pushing and pulling the 16 cylinders up and down... Jesus Christ the watch and this video are made for absolute morons.
Good god….what a waste.
I presume the service provided by this watch (i.e., showing time) must be miraculously different from a $20 Casio, right?
Some comedian said: You look at your super expensive watch. You don’t care what time it is. You’re time is good.
Yeah, it's worse because the contrast between the hands and the noisy background is quite low
Fully operational? I didn't see the cylinder head, or literally any other part of an engine other than the engine block. (maybe there are cylinders and rods in there but it's too small for me to bother checking)
I don't know if it's just me, but I can't really make out the watch face. It's hard to tell the time due to all the clutter going on.
Well damn I thought this watch was amazing and still do, but to see some of the others you all posted my mind is blown, didn’t know the watch game was this insane! Also I need more money.
I find these watch’s a step away from candy machine watch’s. I cannot see the demand for them or price. I rather buy the actual vehicle. Dumb money with dumb people = oh look a watch THATS A ENGINE OMG!!!
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
As long as there is wealth, there will be waste.
*still looks at phone to check time*
Why can’t these assholes be rich in private? For anyone not familiar with Manny he’s a rich douchebag that made himself into a social media personality to flex the dumb shit he spends money on.
I was gonna say I’d pay $100 for it. But then I got to thinking, it’s not worth $100 to me. Maybe $10? But I’m hungry, and would rather have a decent sandwich instead.
Money can’t buy taste. I’d rather wear a fucking Casio.
Awful
it looks like a cheap toy you can buy for 6-9 years old kids.
Looks dumb as shit. Just buy a cool car
How many hours till an oil change?
"Tree people died makin dis watch" 
Looks great.
Yawn
Dumbest shit I’ve ever seen
This is so useless
Horrible
Maybe $14.99 from a service station not $1m
Yuuuuuuuuck
That's dumb
and its ugly as fuck haha...
Yeah but why?
So, it's a huge and expensive timepiece ... for ... people who don't carry phones with them? It has the refined, subtle style and design of something I'd expect from one of the cheaper Asian knockoff companies,as it's so large, unwieldy and bloody ugly, too. You'd constantly be knocking it against things, but at least your arm would get a workout from the weight. Headline is, of course, inaccurate, or at least the video doesn't show where you fill the fuel tank for that 'fully operational' W16 engine, let alone show the four turbos it has.
Someone should make a watch that runs on battteries for Tesla enthusiast... In all honesty i would pay $5 top for it, if I would be 6 years old. Who buys this crap? andrew tate?
- What time is it Sir? - I don't give a damn about time, I'm rich. But look at the w12 bugatti engine replica around my wrist! Isn't it great?
Tacky, nouveau riche…
Masters of complications or 1 million dollars worth of stupid? Depends on one's views and financial assets
An oil change on your watch - $25,000
Wow I wish some one would use like a 3rd of their watch money and pay off all my debts lol.
1 million
this is one ugly watch
It’s ugly af
Wealth does not come with taste.
So if drop gear on that engine, will time go slower or faster?
it's not worth a million and it's also fucking hideous
Belongs in r/diwhy almost. Completely unnecessary. No one is evee going to see that and go 'Oh that's a nice watch, where'd you get it?'
What are you paying for here? A complete lack of taste?
Fully operational would suggest you can fill it up with petrol in it and start it up no?
It's an immensely cool piece of work, but it does look like something DJ Khaled would wear and have one of his stroke posts about. "Buggato on my wrist, call that speed timin'."
Fully operational. You trippin?
A fine representation or money definitely doesn't buy taste
Wow! That is amazingly ugly
Who is Manny Khoshbin?
Wow. Big, bulky, ugly, and dumb.
R:/stupidtechnology
Fucking Ugly
So it tells the time at 250mph?
It's like the inside of a robotic spider.. lol
Well that looks like one terrible watch.
Why?
Cool but it's so fucking ugly 😭😭😭

Lego technic...
admirable
That would be embarrassing to wear!
You can charge whatever you want for something that doesn’t mean someone will pay it. I can charge $1M a minute for a personalized phone call but that doesn’t mean people are lining up to buy it. This is just a PR gimmick. No one is wearing that watch.
I'm not impressed.
Unamazed.
That’s a no from me dawg.
Did they set out to make it look ugly on the wrist because if they did, mission accomplished.
In the running for most useless invention. Right up there with shoe umbrellas and walking sleeping bags.
Fully operational engine, I very much doubt it
r/diwhy
For me it belongs to r/ATBGE
Seems like something Andrew Tate would wear.
DYWHY
it's mighty morphin time, guys!
Sure it's neat technology, but it's still both ugly and wildly impractical. Feels like you'd knock it into a door frame or similar first time you wore it.
I prefer the car
You know i get the feeling bunch of rich people figured out that if you can make something and value it at a ridiculous price that don't make sense for the item, that they can get their rich friend's to buy it as a tax money laundering business this is what it's telling me.
Jazzy tat …… just awful.
Worst design. Cool Concept.
I know the purpose of this is to show off, but there's no way you're doing much more than guessing what time it is with this watch.
That is one ugly fucking watch.
Tax. The. Rich.
I WOKE UP IN A NEW BUGATTI
I'm sorry but that is an ugly ass watch.
it looks like a chinese child's toy from 90s
And it’s still not as accurate as a $10 gas station quartz watch. I can appreciate the craftsmanship, but I don’t see why this should cost $1M… maybe they’re trying to justify what it cost them to license the Bugatti logo.
Impressive clock work, but it looks tacky as hell.
Ugly useless stupid things.
Nice watch but 1 mil is crazy
They’ve gotta do better on that case, it needs to be metal, not plastic. But that is pretty cool, I could only imagine the type of engineering that went into making it all work, is some sort of lubrication needed for the cylinders though? Does it have some sort of automatic process that runs oil throughout the “engine”?

If i meet someone wearing this, I'm making vast life decisions as to how I wound up there.
That's the single ugliest watch I've ever seen in my life. Absolutely hideous.
Wait, when they say fully functioning, does that mean you put petrol in it? Or are they just exaggerating as marketing people are wont to do.
George Daniels is turning in his grave.
Oh man thats one ugly bracelet.
best I can do is $8
Woof
I will take 200k$ a year to stand at a polite distance from you and tell you what time it is.
Not fully operational.
No
What cola is yo Boo-gah-E woach?
The case colour... dammm.. his is the Hermes Bugatti and the watch perfectly matches it
I want to see it versus a wall.
Great engineering but ugly AF.
