Antoine Martin Tourbillon Astronomique Watch Is $565,000
Antoine Martin has rightfully earned itself a special place in the heart of hardcore watch enthusiasts with their Slow Runner piece and its huge, gracefully oscillating balance wheel exposed at the caseback. But there is another side to the brand, one that offers more traditional complications, re-interpreted to fit into the rather well-defined styling cues of the brand.

Decent looking watches as well, with that now signature, Bremont style.See my Bremont Martin-Baker watch article on AskMenwatches-dealer here.See Bremont watches on eBay here.See Bremont watches on Amazon here.
