Over the last few weeks we’ve taken a look at some of the most beautiful watches money can buy. However, none of them match this one for pure opulence and expense.

According to Forbes the Vacheron Constantin is a Swiss engineered watch retailing for a very cool $1.5 million.

“Keeping time seems so simple until you run up against something like the Tour de l’Ile from Vacheron Constantin. After seven years in development and three years of assembly, the Swiss watchmaker marked its 250th anniversary this year with the world’s busiest timepiece—at least for now. The Tour de l’Ile has 834 separate parts and 16 complications, including tourbillon, power reserve, striking-mechanism torque, moon phase, perpetual calendar, sunrise time, leap-year indicator, sunset time, sky chart and others. At $1.5 million, it’s the priciest timepiece in Vacheron Constantine’s anniversary line.”

The Vacheron Constantin is a beautiful time piece but is it really worth all that money???
