A crazy creature from Montblanc, with a high level of finishings. See for example the twisted tourbillon bridge.

Enjoy.

Key Points from the Discussion

Despite its complexity, the Vasco Da Gama reference offers surprising wearability, with its case working smoothly and balancing well even on smaller wrists (6-7 inches).
Some collectors prioritize legibility, finding that as long as the hands are discernible, the watch's overall aesthetic and complications can be appreciated.
A counterpoint suggests that some ultra-complicated pieces prioritize novelty and complication over design, which may not appeal to all tastes.

It's an interesting watch to look at, but not to wear

Many of these ultra complicated pieces seem to exist just for the novelty factor. It often happens that design is sacrificed for the sake of complication, which doesn't really appeal to my taste.

I can only object

owning a sister timepiece I can assure you that the case works very smooth on an 6-7 inch wrist and is perfectly balanced. Nico was surprised as well ;-)
