    I was just blown away by the idea of an alarm in a mechanical watch - what is this feature called?. So what other interesting complications are there out there? I'm aware of:
    - repeaters
    - where the watch face always shows 12 o'clock, but you press a button and it jumps to the time (what is that called?)


    What is "equation of time"?
    Thanks

    Just to name a few, moonphase, perpetual calendar, tourbillion, dead seconds, jumping hours. And many more.

    Power reserves, dual-time zone (GMT), alarm/chimes.

    Although it isn't exactly a complication, mystery dials are kinda cool :D
