Tourbillion technology and extravagant jewelry form as one in the 'Horn of Plenty' clock by Moiseikin Jewelry. This tourbillon clock is one of the most complicated timepieces built, boasting advanced engineering and thousands of diamonds.
The 'Horn of Plenty' is made up of over 4,000 luxury diamonds and features mother-of-pearl shells, imported Brazillian gold oramethysts, emeralds and other precious stones. With regard to tourbillon technology, designer Anatoly Zubkov engineered the clock using disposed gears and winding reserves which require the clock to be wound up manually (with a diamond encrusted gold key).
While seemingly functional, telling time has never been more complicated. Perhaps the emphasis on exquisite jewelry is enough to offset that issue. At a $1.9 million price point, this will most certainly be a conversation starter at the very least.
