USD Urwerk AMCs Rare 317 years-Accurate $2.7 Million Watch Heads To Auction

One-of-three Urwerk AMCs (Atomic Master Clock) are heading to Phillips Auction house’s “GAME CHANGERS” watch auction in December. A result of over eight years of research and development, the AMC watch is made from 70 lb milled aluminum “base unit” case and a mechanical wristwatch that joins the case for precise rate adjustments, which during its release pushes the boundaries of watchmaking and engineering. GPS is used to fine-tune the watch and make up for any time lost or gained—accurate up to one second every 317 years—when it was joined to its “Master Case”. Originally sold at a staggering $2.7 million USD price tag, The Atomic Master Clock will start with a low estimate of $1 million USD.
