As a piece of mechanical engineering, it's pretty incredible. As a functional timepiece, it's a little beyond even occasional use. But lets face it, anyone who bought one of these would put it in a glass display case in their home.

In a glass display case in their home, in a huge walk-in vault, guarded 24 hours by a small but effective army

Have no idea who would need watch like this.. otherwise I think it should stay at Geneve as a piece of art.

I think only one was made and since it took 8 years to design and create chances are it may remain a unique testament to VC's mastery of horological magic. As for actually using it - imagine what challenge it will be to reset all the complications if and when the watch stops On the other hand the owner should have no difficulty hiring a special watch butler to look after it.
