It houses 16 cylinders and 16 titanium pistons that are driven by a single-axis crankshaft. When the automaton is activated, the crankshaft spins and the 16 cylinders move up and down. The hand-wound Tourbillon comprises some 557 components and offers a power reserve of 48 hours.The watch is limited to 150 examples and costs $340,000.
