As much as I will most likely never spend 6 figures on a watch, I greatly appreciate their engineering. Tangential, does anyone know how easy is it to design and build your own movement?

How about in the US$ 9000 range? Frederique Constant Manufacture Slimline Perpetual Calendar:

(Perhaps as a gift to yourself for a major milestone: 50th birthday, retirement, etc.)

Thanks for the suggestion, certainly possible I think. Honestly it depends a lot on how my career/income turns out, but the watch looks good!
