This is a pretty interesting watch for several reasons. First, the case itself is platinum, which is certainly a nice touch. However, the real reason this watch is so coveted, and therefore expensive is due to its engineering ie, its guts. The watch is powered by a Caliber 587DR with two amazing features, a 5-Day power reserve and a tourbillon regulator. The latter is what gives this watch most of its value. A watch can have many complications ie engineering attributes, but the tourbillon is known as the king of complications. A tourbillon is an incredible engineering feat that was invented nearly 2 centuries ago. Its purpose is complex, but to dumb it down a tourbillon minimizes the effects gravity has on the accuracy of a watch. Through years and years of invention, and decades of results, the tourbillon has proven to be one of the great wonders of watch evolution. These days, watches are extremely accurate regardless of a tourbillons inclusion causing some to say the tourbillon is not useful. However, the sheer engineering marvel of the tourbillon is coveted, hence the high price of this Breguet. -

The True-View device basically incorporates a widget that has strategically-positioned mirrors which enable the smartphone lens to be split into two stereoscopic images. The two images are then placed at a certain distance away from the other which is similar to the distance between the two eyes. Hence, with the True-View you can take photos and videos by placing the smartphone inside the device. Viewing the split image by either eyes independent of each other is what enables the spectacular 3D effect.
