By adding unusual complications to models larger than 40mm—including tourbillon escapements that account for errors in timekeeping when the wrist is in different positions, skeletonization to expose the movement components in all their mechanical glory, and f lyback chronographs that allow for timing of multiple events—top brands are offering not just style, but a multitude of practical uses.
