Expensive Split-Seconds Chronograph Watches

5. Jaquet Droz Astrale Rattrapante 45mm – $32,800

 Halfway trough the list, and on the fifth position, we have the Jaquet Droz Astrale Rattrapante 45mm timepiece.

This watch comes in a 45mm in diameter and 15.53mm thick polished 18kt rose gold case, and features an elegant black “Grand Feu” enamel dial.

On the dial, as you will see in the picture bellow, we can spot the white printed Roman Numeral hour markers, the fine white printed minutes, seconds and fractions of a second index track, and the fine white printed Tachymeter scale on the outer most perimeter of dial.

The Split-Seconds function has 2 seconds hand counters that run in unison, and when the Rattrapante  button is pressed, the top seconds hand stops and an addition seconds hand hidden directly beneath will continue to run allowing for an addition timing function.

The 30 minute sub-dial counter is located at the 3 o’clock position, while the 12 hour counter sub-dial can be found at the 9 o’clock position.

Jaquet Droz Astrale Rattrapante 45mm contains a total number of 39 jewels and has an approximate power reserve of 40 hours.
