yeah, you'd need to give us more specific idea of what you had in mind. It's kind of like buying a car, there are hundreds of model at every imaginable price-point.

The world or tourbillons could have you shelling out $500 - $500,000 (and beyond, actually)

Tourbillons are an exercise in the art of horology, they very seldom are profitable other than there use in advertising.  They do not keep the best time on a wrist watch, they were originally designed as a pocket watch complication.  Any that I have held and liked were usually $50,000 or more.  As a matter of fact usually allot more than 50.  They are great to look at, but a frustrating piece to wear.  They tend to be delicate and the watch maker that designed the watch is the only person really qualified to service and repair it.

My honest opinion is get a COSC certified watch or something along that line. 

Open heart complications are an alternative.
